Ww2 German Africa korp

[Dlodwig92]

Purchased as authentic which o believe so, but any more information would be great

I’m not liking it, material looks wrong, stitching uneven, no lining or vent grommets.

Thank you for your reply

If you are looking to collect TR headgear, I’d suggest you join the paying membership of the forum. This open up many members only sections on headgear. The reference is well worth the 25$ a year, it will save you that many times over. Welcome to the forum, sorry about the bad news.

CBH told you that this item doesn't have much chances. I would like to add to his observations that the badges on this cap are not for Afrika-caps (green instead of beige backing).
