M 40 side cap

Hello guys,

I don't know if the question is very simple, but I have a doubt about this side cap I bought a long time ago. ¿Who used this side cap's model in the german army? I'm sure that it's an M 40, but I've only seen this model with SS and coastal artillery insignias, anyone with Wehrmacht ones. If you have examples of this model with Wehrmacht insignias, please post photos in this thread or give me web links where appears this kind of side hat used by Wehrmacht.

I've put a photo of the cap's factory marks.

Many thanks in advance.

This pattern of cap was not used by the Heer.

Cheers, Ade.

I've seen a thread on warrelics (here the link) https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/ss-un...ide-cap-10885/ where Milan Gard shows a similar side cap, but it has some differences with mine, as the stamp and the front (the place to put the ss eagle is larger than mine).
