nskk 2nd patt sidecap

[HJ-Collector]

hi guys bought a combat helmet not so long ago and it got me hooked on headwear aswell so just got this sidecap about a month back and thought yous might want a look and also to see if the info i have on it is correct.

nskk 2nd pattern sidecap is for rottenfuhrer of the nskk told by the chevrons stripes on the side and is light blue for hochland/bayer. ostmark (now austria) is this right guys? has the oil cloth rzm tag inside and the front buttons are marked rzm m5/82.

what would one expect to pay for an item like this also?

all comments are welcome

The triangle is sewn on sideways. Other than that the cap looks good. I think this style NSKK cap sells around $250.00 USD.
I like these NSKK caps and the prices are reasonable compared to other German headgear.

hi steve i like these nskk caps aswell the first patt with pull down sides is next

heres whare we are at folks should i carefully cut the stitching out round the triangle and stitch it more nicely and up the correct way?? as i have took better pics of the stiching around it now its not neat, big and obvious,and post war anyway? just would like to know what you guys think thanks.

p.s the stripes to the side have been machine sewn on and have always been on the cap.

Hi Ewan , i would be tempted to try and obtain some original period cotton , and get your mum to sew it on nice and neat . It`s a great looking cap by the way !
