I was looking at this artillery side cap and was just wondering if its 100% authentic. Thanks.

Seems to be piped for an officer, my understanding is that it should have a leather sweatband if it is.

Searching for anything relating to, Anton Boos, 934 Stamm. Kp. Pz. Erz. Abt. 7, 3 Kompanie, Panzer-Regiment 2, 16th Panzer-Division (My father)
Officers (Like in most armies) had to purchase their own kit. Some wished to spend more than others on their uniform, so quality and standards could vary. The lack of a half leather sweatband would reflect this.
The eagle is unusual. Most were green badge cloth backed.
