Good eve, friends. I'd like to show to you all my nicest piece of soft headgear - this M42 Feldmütze (EM-NCO Field Cap). It's a recent purchase, and it's in very fine shape. I feel good about its authenticity, but I respect the opinion and experience you all have to offer - I'm by no means an expert. Please enjoy, and tell me what you think. Here's a few details/questions:
- The rayon (?) liner has a stamp reading "L. Ritgen" and below that "Karlsruhe (B)" and a 1942 date. Anyone familiar with the maker L. Ritgen? Not sure what the "B" after Karlsruhe is for. Baden, maybe?
- It's a small size in only a 53
