Re: What is your Holy Grail? (Cloth Headgear Only!)
I do not collect, but for me my holy grail would be the caps as just were sold
at Weitze (and a friend of mine bought them): the visored cap and field cap
as worn by the Grosses Militär-Waisenhaus. I think this set is the rarest of
caps ever offered. Many years I was and still am in contact with former students
and the visored cap was not seen by anyone of them after the war. Nor do I know
any dealer who has seen such set complete set from one and the same former
student in 65 years.
