Hello all
I think I've all the responses I was waiting for...

Ha! Taking a close look at the pictures (why are the important things almost never shown?) I saw this (piping joined by overlapping - that did it for me [it did happen, but for me there are to many inconsistencies in this cap at a time]):

BTW: What do the insignia specialists think?

It's just the angle of the picture that make you believe that piping is joined by overlapping.
More pictures and sorry for the mismatch

I like construction of the cap, however the sweatband is different from mine and others in pinned thread on WSS em/nco crushers, also the material is not the same as mine. Lining material and methods of construction basically identical to mine and others considered original. The VA stamp is a no no but could have been added to try and hump it up post war. Guess I'm saying that it might be ok but... Insignia? Aldo?

Thanks for the additional photo! So what I saw was an optical illusion. The new picture doesn't make it any better (for me). What I see here is a piping the ends of which were joined by a machine stich. I don't know if this existed, perhaps it did (I am none of the senior experts I just try to recreate the art of cap making). Normally the "Stoß" should be joined by a hand stitched seam such as here (you can see the stitches are on the outside of the Stoß - the gap where the piping joins - not on the inside which indicates a machine-sewn seam) apart from the fact that the entire piping is quite wavey which should not have happened (but for the fact that the cap was exposed to humidity which the inside does not display):





I wish F.-B. was still here, he would have known on first glance. I don't think this is original, but who am I? If the senior specialists think it is real it well may be...

Il y a trop d'escrocs dans le monde!
