FANTASTIC Tony !!!!

Got a bit carried away tonight after re-organising my cabinets and can now present an artistic photo essay of the development of the German Army Cap from 1871- 1945. This covers every model introduced for wear by officers in both the field and on parade.

Hope you like it...................cheers tony

Spandau wrote an excellent book on caps. Nice collection. I read it for reference at night, when i think of textiles.
