Still working on the cog wheel stamp...........any input welcomed.
Hi Spandau
In the Hitler Jugend Forum on page 38 - there is a patch with (it seems like that) the same kind of cog wheel stamp`?
Please forgive me if I am wrong - I have no expertise in that area - just wanted you to know about the patch.

Really nice to see Reichswehr items , rare and underated area . I feel there maybe the influence of the British Army 1917 Trench cap ,but its probably coincidence . Russia was also making their soldiers caps with cloth peaks before 1917 .

Hi Guys
thanks for the input. The drivers wheel from the HJ set may be just coindence but great spot. thanks.
Rob the need for a simple, cheap and usable field cap seems to be the goal of all governments and armies alike. This type of cap seemed the most fashionable and obvious design in the early part of the century.
cheers

Superb caps. I was'nt familiar with this type, so have learned something interesting.

Very nice material. Well done. Much more interesting than a bunch of fake Waffen SS caps, to be sure.
