Re: Camo cap, looks theatre made? Real?
Field made items are very hard to authenticate. Might be 1944 or could equally be 2004.......
Cheers, Ade.

Re: Camo cap, looks theatre made? Real?
I agree Ade, age would be hard to tell authenticate,however there are ways of narrowing it down. The construction of the hat, the matreial and the U.V. light test. These are not 100% accurate,but they should help. So with the overall construction,what is your opinion Ade?

Re: Camo cap, looks theatre made? Real?
It certantly appears to have had a TK and eagle insignia at one point. The insignia was only authorized on this cap for about two weeks before the high command changed they're mind and had the soldiers remove them in the field. Only a handful of these w/ period applied insignia still remain on the cap . Mr. Hritz owns two examples that I am aware of. So, that said, I would feel more comfortable to have one w/out the insignia because they're "less rare". IMO.

The construction looks OK for a field made item.
Cheers, Ade.
