Re: Stamping in NVA enlisted cap?
Looks like it's had a Luftwaffe eagle on the front at some point!

Re: Stamping in NVA enlisted cap?
I cant imagine this is any kind of wartime cap, looks NVA through and through to me. Grey colour, plastic peak etc.

Re: Stamping in NVA enlisted cap?
I think someone prior tried to sell it as a Luftwaffe cap, and the guy I bought it from made it back into an NVA cap.

Agreed. I'll probably stick it in a dark corner on my shelves.

Re: Stamping in NVA enlisted cap?
Is it possible this was a refurbish hat captured by the Russians? Capture it modify it and sell to the N. Vietnamese? Like what the Russians did with captured weapons. Just a thought.

Re: Stamping in NVA enlisted cap?
Possible, but unlikely. That's a good thought, though. Didn't think of that.

Re: Stamping in NVA enlisted cap?
octavian-'NVA' is the former East German army, the Nationale Volks Armee-I was wondering whether the cap might have been a film/stage prop at some time-unlikely to have been reissued to the East Germans with the obvious remains of the eagle badge on it.

Re: Stamping in NVA enlisted cap?
I didn't think about film/stage, either. There are so many possibilities as to it's history. There are no other markings that I can find, but I could try looking again.
