The stamp is bogus and never existed historically.
The whole thing is a post war copy.
Cheers, Ade.

Thank you very much for the detailed answer!
Who produced this camouflage material with the distinctive defects after 8.5.1945?
Is this stamp documented on further copies?
Are there identical copies?
Why is a copy based on the tropical cap and not the common model?
A reproduction in this configuration seems illogical to me. There are several camouflage variants integrated in the cap.

The problem is since 1945 people have been making reproduction SS caps. This really took off in the 1970's. They have used old original materials or made new reproduction printed cloth. Repro printed cloth is now made all around the world.
That stamp really kills it for me. Had that not been there, I would have said it was made not to decieve, but as a cap for working or hunting etc.

Thanks! I am aware that a lot has been reproduced since 1945. I myself am involved in my company with the reconstruction of Bf109 aircraft parts.
This is not a classic reproduction fieldcap here. You can't dismiss that so easily.
My question again:
Are there other exact early copies of caps made of highly authentic camouflage fabric known in the exact pattern of the tropic cap (pictures or link)? Are other miscellaneous copies with this stamp known?
check following link with identical cut:

Put it this way, I have collected for 47 years and I have not seen one before if that helps?
Cheers, Ade.

The pattern doesn’t matter when it has a Big Red Flag like that stamp.
Fake stamps equals a fake cap.

Hello, my ex-cap, from the Benamou collection, bought in 1970, sold last year.

What is the basis for your assessment that it is a fake stamp? Have you ever seen this stamp on a copy like this? The company "TEXLED" produced camouflage clothing in Ravensbrück during the Second World War.
