Marc,

As Dimas has requested again, please use the forum's photo hosting program.

See here: https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/techn...tes-forum.html

If you have any questions or do not understand something, I will be glad to explain to you. I am able to write in French if need be.

-----------------------------------------------------

I like the looks of the cap itself also. From the single image that you have shown that is. If you would, please show some more images of the inside and some close-ups of the wings insignia.

In regards to the wreath/cockarde insignia: The wreath seems to me to be replaced with a 50s/60s era (general's?) type. Note how it's (unfaded) backround colour contrasts with the band. It is NOT the original wreath IMO. In addition, the star (alone) affixed to it is a 1950s variation.

I can show the proper wartime and postwar cockardes in a later post if you wish further comment...

Marc,

As I have written, it seems to be a nice & original cap (I am searching for one of these BTW) but I would simply try to find the correct cockarde...

A wreath in any case is almost IMPOSSIBLE to find.

I have a model 1948 version of this cap, and I was forced to use a later
(50s/60s General's embroidered) wreath to complete it.

Now I remeber that hat, but I think there was another star?
The star on the cap is 1947 y issue. ( As I remeber there was a nice star with cracked enamel)

OK, OK, OK Marc... We are not here to have public conflicts about "memory", or let alone ANYTHING.

This is a DISCUSSION FORUM and that is it; WE DISCUSS things. That includes opinions (and that is ALL they are: OPINIONS), whether they are agreeable or not.

If you post something on a public forum, expect comments; positive as well as negative. And thats that...

We are all friends, associates, and comrades here. All of us will be more than happy to help you with anything.
