Reichsbahn red top!!

[Ullergaard]

Hello guy's

Here is a little age of miracles isn't over story

I met a man who had two boxes filled with east and west German caps.. I looked them over and found this rare baby amoung the caps!

It is a: Deutsche Reichsbahn rote Schirmmütze für Bahnhofsvorsteher / Fahrdienstleiter

By maker Robert Lubstein erel..
See Stonemint's thread
DRB Reichsbahn Red-Top Visors

It had a east German eagle on it..
I bought it for 44$!!!
Back home fitted a m-38 reichsbahn eagle and a roundel on it and voila!

Did some pictures together with a normal Reichsbahn mütze and a German railway lantern from the thirties...

First how it looked when I found it..

Enjoy the pics...

Lucky you! Congratulations.

The specialists might smile at me but for me it is the first (as far as I can remember) ErEl cap I see with the skeleton interior ("Rosshaarverarbeitung").

But I can not see if that one has the skeleton interior.. Chris says that Reichsbahn visors by EREL are very rare and hard to find.
