You can see the small black fabric thingy here if you squint. And, as the label says, there is also a rubber cushion behind the sweat band.

I should make new pictures, as these are Shea's old regime pictures with his old, dorky camera.
This cap was sold to me as found by an OSS man who took it off a war criminal. However, Dinkel was actually a major figure in Sta. 32, (Heidelberg/Mannheim) and was also an NSDAP Kreisleiter, and far from being a war criminal, had also been a figure in the church (?) and went on to be a CDU politician in local politics on the Neckar of the Federal Republic. He lived on to the 1970s.
I would actualy repair the white hat free of charge just so that I could handle one in my lifetime.. Wow!
Just one last question, which perhaps should have been my first. i was feeling a bit sheepish to ask....and hoped it would emerge through the discussion.
I assume the eagle on the visor cap that is the original topic of this thread is a late NSDAP political visor cap eagle.
Thanks. Paul
The badge can be either of the later SA type or the pre 1939 NSDAP type. It looks perfectly real to me, and were it fake, its previous owner would have noticed.....
