It is mine!!
I did the man a offer, but didn't hear from him since!
But sunday evening, after a hard day of work I went to the pub for a beer, and while talking they said a drunk just left the place with a nazi cap on his head, willing to sell it for 100 euro and stating that is worth a lot more, but he needed the money for his bills.
After a few questions it was clear that thise guy was the same one I met a couple of weeks back.
Half a hour later he came back in, cause he had seen my bike in front of the pub, and he remembered the bike from our first meeting.
He was drunk as a skunk and had the cap still on his head, but I managed to get it for 50 euro's, just before the bartender trow him out!!
Sorry for the pictures, I think my camera isn't winterproof.
cheers

It is funny, that when it is put on a head it rises up to a total different shapped cap!!

I just saw Paul E refering to Lexikon der Wehrmacht for a question of a members grouping...
I forgot to mention that the cap is named after E. Pahl; is there a chance to trace that guy down?
thanks
