Well, let's see if this question is more interesting: Does anyone know who bought it?

Well, this thread took an unexpected turn! Personally, I have no problem with the injection of a little humour in a discussion, but I strongly disapprove of any personal attacks. Let's get back on...

Well, that's the 420 Thousand Euro Question! Obviously, it would be nice to have a pic of this exact hat being worn in the correct period for the logo inside, but that hasn't definitively emerged...

And the result...

This is a great discussion, guys! Here is a pic of Hitler from 1935, showing what appears to be a shorter winged eagle. I'm wondering if Holters simply used a left over earlier eagle on this cap, a...

Here are some interesting interior shots of this cap, as well as a blow-up of the eagle from a period pic...

There really is only one of the surviving caps that I've been able to positively identify in period pics, and that's the second one in the "Adolf Hitler's field visor caps" thread. There is a slight...

To me, there are a few compelling facts speaking for originality. It was not until a few years ago, when Dima published good photos on this very forum of the Hitler garments still in the Russian...
