I think we would all like to see this cap in it's entirety. Something tells me that the interior will be a surprise.

Here is an exterior view from some old shots. I will shoot the interior tomorrow in daylight.
Although my primary area of research and collecting is pre-war SS headgear, one of the reasons I was so interested in this hat and added it to my collection was that it was the first genuine officer field upgrade I had ever seen.

An alluminium 499/41 Zimmerman, very nice indeed.

Aluminum, yes. Very nice, absolutely. 499/41 Zimmermann, oops...try an M1/52 Deschler.

I know that both I and Mr Bwanek are thrilled when a set we have can find a new home on an original cap that have its insignia set missing.
Just wanted to tell you.

Absolutely! There is something quite satisfying about putting together a set of insignia that both looks correct together and matches the period, style, and condition of the cap. It is a bit like reassembling a piece of history so that it is restored to its original glory for future generations. I also take a bit of selfish pride in the fact that collectors seek my help when they find a stripped cap and are looking to return it to its proper condition.

Ooops indeed, had my beer goggles on last night.

Here is the requested interior shot. Nothing special or unusual. Just a plain interior, no diamond and the amount of wear you would expect from a hat worn through at least a couple of rank upgrades.

Here are another couple of badges that I believe to be completely original to the cap they are on. This cap came from Texas and was found in a vet's kitbag.
