Heer M34 Schiffchen?

[Eddie]

It came yesterday! I added some original removed insignia very lightly, just for show. Strangely, it looks like only the round part of the national cockade was used, just like the cockade that I added. There are no puncture marks from where a metal cockade would have been added(which I have seen once or twice in photos), just stitching marks. Though, there are holes from where I believe the Soutache used to be, and pink thread from where I suspect the Soutache was. Would a Heer Schiffchen have had a pink, Panzer Soutache? It appears that the mans name was R. or B. Pimter, though, on the added area what looks like "Warta" Pimter is printed. Is there an abbreviated title that would be close to "Warta" or "Warha"?

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but were the rayon eagles used on these or just the dark green backed eagles? I bought a rayon eagle that was removed from a wool cap, but I wondered if it was appropriate for this Schiffchen, or would this eagle have only been on the M42 Schiffchen?

Either the green backed or grey backed eagle is fine on this pattern of cap.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade, I'd have hated to put the wrong thing on this poor old cap.
