A receipt for a "luftwaffe cap" on whammonds site.

Bravo, Patrick, and said cap was costly in 1944. Very interesting.

[M18922]

It is an interesting item, I wonder where Whammond finds things like this. Perhaps you could find receipts like this under the sweatbands of caps?

Cheers, Patrick

A postcard for Firma Karl Naubert (which also went by Hermann Naubert). Note that the initials make up the head of the soldier in the logo:

The last Muetzenmacher:

Walter Eisenberg ... der letzte Mützenmacher Inh. Lars Küntzel



Walter Eisenberg der Mützenmacher aus Hamburg

Interesting links about Küntzel. Amazing, that he uses vintage sewing machines from the twenties and that there is still a market for this kind of craftmanship.
But then the Germans do love their caps (just a simple observation - no ulterior motive. I see more sailing caps being worn by Germans than in any of their neighbouring countries. And that with a collective German coastline of app 5oo metres).

Notice the loving care with which the visors and berets were shipped--no individual boxes & no wrapping paper:

Am I reading this right, 20.5 RM for an NCO hat?

Of note.

A wonderful insight into the firm Bachmanns and also the firm Kubach of Mainz, another prolific maker during the TR era.
