Luftwaffe General Cap

[Sebastian]

Hey Guys, this is my first post on this forum.
I've got this Luftwaffe General Cap from WW2 and I thought It might be orginal.
What do you guys think?

[Johnny-D]

It's a beautiful cap mate... very nice indeed!

[BenVK]

It's a reproduction unfortunately.

[Vegard T]

Yes, as Ben said, a reproduction. I saw your ad on Finn.

[Sebastian]

How do you know it's a repro?

[davejb]

Im wondering if this is an early Janke copy

It is all in the details. Even with your poor pictures, it is evident the insignia are not of the quality of original period examples. The cap construction is also a dead give away. Sorry.

The member "Karl S" here owns a nice, authentic cap of this type. Authentic Lw general officer caps are very rare.

I know this is an old thread, but I would like to ask you this:
Why are you still trying to sell it as an original?: Hjelm, Høylue, tysk, plombert, våpen, 2 verdens krig. - FINN
