Kriegsmarine coastal overseas cap

[visor]

What are your opinions on this one guys......stitching etc.

This item is French made, do collectors prefer German made, or is this acceptable.

I have only German made ones in my collection, but need one of these to finish a cabinet.

Also, has anyone dealt with Jensens relics?

Thanks a million

the French manufactured quite large quantities of KM uniforms and insignia during the war and this looks typical of such.

The cap looks to be a fine period original. Jerry is correct as to much KM material being manufactured in France. My first blue KM hat I got in 1957 for $3.00 was made in Paris. In the 70's, fakers were transforming these green caps in to Waffen SS caps. Those were in the days that loose insignia was available and inexpensive.
