Hi

I'm not sure about the piping either.......is it white ?

Also the odd joining point puts me off, they did do that on some caps but usually at he rear of the cap, re-sale issues with this one would bother me, bullion insignia looks ok but overall I would like to see clearer pics to give it the ok.

Proceed with caution on his one would be my advice.

hope tha helps

cheers

I have the same question--is the piping silver bullion or white-rayon? If rayon, this type of joinder is normal.

Hat looks weird to me possibly older repro

Thanks gents for your statement!
Its a white rayon piping. I have made the photos with flash.

Tkat's ok but I will stand by my original statement and say that there are better ones out there.

cheers

I believe that it is an original late-war cap by a cottage maker. No telling when the wreath was sewn on.

I agree with Tony--there are many nicer examples out there that you do not have to restore for decent money.
