Kriegsmarine caps. Need help!

[carlsson1982]

the eagle is ok, hand-embroided eagles can differ in many variations.Imperfections are of course very probably since they're hand-maded.

[Frog]

My possible concern not really with eagle; would like to see close-ups of visor trim and edge stitching on blue cap, op cit. - Tom, if you will.

Hi Frog,
Yeah the price was $1,400.I can't provide any further close up photos of the cap as he has not provided anymore as yet. I was convinced about the insignia to date but now i am not so sure when you mention it

Tom

I thank Ade and carlsson for their own Eagles too

I am no expert when ity comes to Insignia as i am manily an equipment collector.Just branching out as i get older now i think

Tom -

I was just a little concerned about the depth of the leather reinforcing strip on the brim of the blue visor.

Typically, in my limited experience, this feature on officer visors has a single stitching line, fairly narrow:

[Frog]

Whereas NCO visors typically have a double-stitched, wider reinforcing trim; East Geerman caps tend to have a wider trim as well.

It probably amounts to nothing. I am somewhat skeptical of the chinstrap, though; looks very fresh. Would like to see this in hand before purchase.

Hello frog,
Nice work on the visors I am not able to look at the cap before i buy as it's over in Germany and i am here in oz.Better luck next time

Thanks mate!

Hi guys,
I have been sent more pic's.This time inside shots of the liner band underneath.Hope all this helps with ID now and gets us a little further towards the truth

I might ask for some visor shots too

Tom

[Tom Bennett]

By the way that was the blue top cap shown,
I have a couple more shots but that's about it for now

Tom -

I think close-ups of the visor trim would be helpful indeed.
