German website with bad rap, but here are real things....!

I will leave the name of this site out, but it gets a bad reputation here, but these items I see appear authentic.

This website has two H's in it, by the way. I do not use it, but I stumbled on these nice images, especially of the officer's field cap, which is very rare.

I remember the field cap very well, it appeared on the other site a few years back minus it's adornments. (I thought it was on Regimentals website, no?)

The black cap is one I haven't seen before.

The insignia appears to be grounddug's.

Thanks F.B. for bring these to our attention and adding to the depth of knowledge base on this site. It's always a pleasure to see such interesting, authentic material from wherever it may be found. Regards, paul

Quite possible. From my best recollection, alu insignia was required on the grey field cap, and the one I owned some years back had alu insignia that was original to it. The few examples of the black officer's cloth billed cap which survive appear to sport the silver-washed cupal insignia...

That's correct, the collector who found the cap in Germany (in a flea market if I remember rightly) bought the insignia thinking they would match the condition of the cap. Doesn't work that way though does it.

The other example of this cap turned up by v. Lukacs had alu insignia identical to those on this cap of mine and formerly of a senior collection.

I never tire of seeing that beautiful cap FB, the shade of feldgrau Trikot is different to any other I've encountered or it could just be the lighting in the photo.

Colors and colors and colors.
