Dear members -

I was wondering if this panzer officer's hat WW2 un-messed, original piece?
Thank you in advance.

Moving away from equipment and dipping your toe in the Headgear pool, Fabe?

I would say, just a little "side-step".

Last xmas I've obtained a panzer officer's coat for a very good price (very good condition, no moth holes, etc.) and planning this year to get a matching headgear for it. Probably won't get into uniforms (not really my budget here in eastern-Europe during Covid times) - just this panzer one.
I'm learning the curves - and I never get anything without asking first here... As far as I know; an 1936M officer's (panzer hauptmann) mantel with custom rabbit-fur liner, which was installed in 1942.

...but is the hat any good?

No the cap is no good sorry..
It is a Janke copy!

There is a hole section here with such caps..

Janke Headgear

It pays off to become a paying member if you want to learn about visor caps.

The LTC is correct--Janke repro....

Amen to that--the amount you will save in avoiding fakes by joining will pay off exponentially.

To be fair to our Hungarian colleague, Fabe is a long term member who wore the "pink" membership colour before .... and may well again.

Yes, will be "pink" again...I have to say, in the last couple years, I've spent most of my time on a personal project (Stalingrad Project), which will have its own web-site sometime this year. I didn't spend as much time on the forum as I've used to - only a quick post here and there...
Hopefully, this will change this summer.
Cheers,
Fabe
