KM cap

[Aldo]

This is a KM cap I bought on ebay on the last days before the ban was in place. The cap is stone mint and I assumed it was a reproduction or movie prop. Also the liner is unconvincing.
However, I found an identical cap on the website below being sold as original. The cap looks exactly like the Auxilary Cruisers side cap shown except for the badge. are they both fake ?

Looks like a nice model 40 KM side cap to me. A nice piece for any German headgear collection.
