Weiße Sommer Mütze für Offiziere der Luftwaffe - Robert Lubstein

**TWS** · 09-19-2023, 02:19 AM

My big catch of the MAX show: A Luftwaffe officer's white top visor cap, and an eReL to boot.
I'd been looking for one for a while, but hadn't found any that met my criteria until another collector contacted me in advance of the show and told me he would be bringing this cap. He sent me a couple photos and it looked like it had distinct potential to end my search. And it did.

Appears the LW officer's name was Böhm and while he could have been any officer, I want to imagine him as a pilot. We know his preferred brand of collars, van Heusen, because he folded up the cellophane wrapper to use behind the sweatband in the rear to firm up the fit of his cap. Included an advertisement for van Heusen that turned up in my research.

Thanks Stony. You know better than most that I'd been on a quest for a couple years. Thanks for letting me bounce a few off of you during that time.
