The black caps with the runes are common as they are, though still rare. The grey caps with the runes are very rare, indeed, and seldom seen. Nice catch for you and thanks for showing your things to us.

Re: Early Grey Service Cap with Runes
That could be said many more times . . . the black caps are interesting - rare to degree, but common, even so when marked in this manner.by Friedrich-Berthold
It is the grey version that piques the interest more, when placed side-by-side with it's counterpart . . .

Your head is not that big, my size is 61...
Nice cap!
Re: Early Grey Service Cap with Runes
They do indeed because why no RZM tag or stamp like the same era black caps?
Re: Early Grey Service Cap with Runes
Some have an RZM stamp on the peak, but only the one I showed you has an RZM tag. It is a mystery to me that I cannot fathom.
Re: Early Grey Service Cap with Runes
For instance, these caps are the exact same age, but configured differently. Why? I cannot tell you. Such is the past, filled with riddles and mysteries that are even more difficult to decipher......

Re: Early Grey Service Cap with Runes
Do we know of a grey cap with runes, tags and stamps?
Re: Early Grey Service Cap with Runes
I included it above. See post 14. It was from an SSTV officer. It is not mine.
Re: Early Grey Service Cap with Runes
I see it now..marvelous! Sorry, I'm a bit slow tonight..
Re: Early Grey Service Cap with Runes
Here is some more detail. This turned up a long time ago from a leading collector. It is a total gem. But yours is related. As I recall, there was an SSTV officer Eberhard commissioned in 1937, but I must look again.
