re: Luftwaffe officer's Schirmmütze
That's a nice cap,as for the sweatband,i have seen worse.I would not say that the value was hugely affected as the rest of the cap is well above average condition. Leon.

Re: Luftwaffe officer's Schirmmütze
Hi Bob, I think the eagle might be worth taking a second look at.
Here is my example, shown on the forum some years back:

Re: Luftwaffe officer's Schirmmütze
I am convinced the eagle is a good one, and it's been on the cap a very long time, Definitely not a replacement. This is the closest photo I have, I'm afraid.
What concerns are there? Thanks.

Re: Luftwaffe officer's Schirmmütze
Well, I cannot agree about the eagle. It's been on the cap forever, as far as I can tell, and definitely does not look replaced.
It seems to me that there is a lot of variation in these eagles, anyway.
The badge backing is virtually the exact color of the cap itself.
My photos are not the best, for which I apologize, but my belief is that the eagle is a good one, so, I respectfully disagree.

Re: Luftwaffe officer's Schirmmütze
Well... first thanks BobS,
I am not Totaly sure about your eagle, that is a Breast eagle model for tunic, unusual on cap but possible in period of course...

Re: Luftwaffe officer's Schirmmütze
It is an unusual eagle. Can we see a close-up of the stitching on the interior of the hat from the eagle?

I'll try to take some photos, but I'm reluctant to pull back the sweatband; it's very fragile & dried out. Obviously , only I have the cap "in hand", but the eagle does not appear to be a replacement to me, and seems to have been on the cap for a very long time.
Perhaps it is a breast eagle, as earlier postulated. Given that it's a late war example, could that have been used by the folks at Erel?
Thanks for everyone's comments.
