The Genesis of the "Same Plane"?

[Okeana]

Here is a little "Same Plane" for you.

Here is a little "Same Plane" for you.

You might want to check the cap cords - they are twisted Z wise ("reverse-twisted") - such cords did exist, but they were the exeption to the rule. The ones on your cap have a detail which make me wonder. You could check the width and the length and compare it to DDR (GDR) cords.

[Okeana]

The cords have the typical metal sleeve at the slide, and feel cold when held to the cheek. I've kept them on it, as that is how I received the cap - and like you say, reverse-turned cords are not all that common. I haven't checked the width nor the length, as I am not familiar with how that could indicate Post-War/DDR made cords. What should one keep in mind when looking?

Thanks, ErWeSa.
Appears it was a good decision, not succumbing to the temptation to change 'em out.
