Kriegsmarine Tellermütze.

[johanis1860]

Hello.
This Kriegsmarine Tellermütze is in auction for sale.
I have no experience,it is my first attempt to buy a navy cap.
Can someone help me to confirm or to not confirm the originality?
I think the eagle is an political eagle.
Thanks,any opinion and comment is welcome
Jannis.

Hi Jannis,

I'm no specialist for these, but as you are a paying member you could take a look here:

Maker Survey: Franz Ritter Dettingen

and also in the original headgear section - check the KM-EM thread - perhaps there is an explanation for the JPM-B stamp there. The eagle is no KM-eagle as you stated yourself already.

The stiffener of the cap band doesn't look like plastic, more like celluloid/cellophane which would be a good sign.

Hopefully the KM experts will chime in.

Hello ErWeSa.
Thank you very much, for your help.
I have found in the theard "Maker Survey: Franz Ritter Dettingen", a similar manufacturer stamp as in mine.
I have, in "Espenlaub Militaria" even with the second manufacturer stamp found as in mine.
Stamping both manufacturers looks like original ones.
I suppose that the Tellermütze original is, I hope the KM experts can confirm this.

I do not collect these, but I also believe yours to be an original.

Thank you very much, Mr. Stonemint.

Composite cap. Both parts wartime, but base German made and removable top Dutch made (JPM-B = J P Mol, Breda). Plenty German navy personnel in Holland and Mol made lots of caps for the Germans so perfectly possible combination.

Quote from ErWeSa: ‘... and also in the original headgear section - check the KM-EM thread’.

I know this is a very old thread, but I am trying to study up on the Kriegsmarine Tellermütze (high on my wants list), but I have been unable to find either an ‘original headgear section’ or a ‘KM-EM thread’.

Many thanks to anyone able to direct me there!
Cheers,
Rob

P.S: I think I found it - under Kriegsmarine EM, in authentic visors (!)
