Thanks Harryamb, but is there nothing hopeful about this cap? At least tell me the bevo insignia looks real!? Would my posting more photos help? Thanks again for your time, I'm having a real bummer of a run at this collecting at the moment. I'm heading to Brimfield antique fair later this week though, so hopefully I'll pick up the real thing from one of the dealers, albeit for top dollar. Sigh.

The cap is a fake. The sweat band is fake, the liner is fake, the bill is fake. I don't know if the cap body is fake or not but I wouldn't hold out any hope.
I am sorry to tell you that your friend from Estonia has stuck you with a piece of $hit.

Wow...total ground up fake. Always post an item here first before buying it if you are unsure of it. It looks like you've literally been robbed.

Sorry for your disappointment - I hope you can get your money back. With authentic bargains so rare in this field its perhaps preferable to pay market price for a good item from a reputable dealer and thereby have both the pleasure of having an honest item and the reassurance that you haven't thrown your money away. There are a lot of reputable dealers on the net - why don't you try some of them? I'm quite new to this field myself but have so far been pleasantly surprised by my experiences as a purchaser.
Regards, Philip

Mr Mint has made a large pile of real caps to examine. If you fortify yourself with this knowledge, as well as seek our aid, you will eventually gain some sanity.
No one wants to be disappointed, and then be dragged to the digital public square for corporal punishment.
Field caps are like cat nip. I have never owned many, but also never made it my thing.
I prefer the garrison headwear.
Panzer peaked caps are nice, to be sure.

I suggest this item, which is hardly a bargain, but for the refined taste.
