    Default WWII German Luftwaffe Tropical M41 Cap

    Hello, looking for any opinions on this interesting hat. Few different things going on with it. First it appears to be a kriegsmarine model 41 converted to a Luftwaffe cap. The golden silk liner, the Luftwaffe eagle being hand applied. And then the brim has a small inscription saying “ St. Raphael France “. What’s thoughts on why the inscription for France? Was it collected there as a souvenir ? Did a vet pack there? Slightly confused on this one.

    Any concerns? Or does this one appear to look ok.

    Yes I think it stands a good chance.... the Luftwaffe never produced tropical peaked M40 style caps, so they used whatever they could get
    their hands on, so there is a wide range of differently made examples, from re-worked Heer and KM to field made caps. It makes the collecting
    of tropical field caps a bit daunting trying to figure out whether they are wartime or post-war made, but I do like the look of this one....

    Hope this helps

    Cheers
