Odd that it had the soutach and cockade but no eagle?

Thank you for the reply , i think there is a eagle also with it .How does the cap itself look ? i was unsure of the inner cap band
I think Mike Seager Thomas gives the answer in his The Afrikamütze Database, Part. II: The Fake (free download of all three parts here:

Extremely valuable information for free, strongly recommended for anyone interested in this kind of caps!
Just saw that the links don't work, see here (these work): Afrika korps cap
Ok thank you
I saw this cap on eBay fairly recently and immediately thought that this was a post war production that is quite common in Eastern Europe as I’ve seen several advertised. There’s a chap in England sells them and advertises them on eBay as produce by a gentleman that has passed away and material is running out so limited caps available! They retail at £159 first pattern caps and £189 for this particular 2nd pattern caps. I believe this is one of those
