    Not seeing anything in these 2 pics that cause me concern--appears to be a mid-war cap in blanket wool

    Piping appears orange on my monitor.

    thank you Stonemint, it was described as artillery so assumed it was color change from the camera perhaps that made it look orange for field police. hopefully i can see it in hand soon to verify.

    When you have it in hand please take a look behind the sweatband & some pictures. I think I have already seen this cap or one like it but can't find it at the moment.

    ErWeSa I absolutely take those photos, I’m not sure when I’ll be able to see it, it’s taken a few months just to get pics of the items he’s considering selling so it’s been a slow process

    Thanks for the photos! I was afraid to see some triple serial #s - I believed to have seen this cap with the reddish lining before and was afraid that it could be an Älteste Berliner Mützenfabrik-fake.
    Good that my memory failed in this case.

    Dang it - I should have had more confidence in my memory, here you are, the very same cap: Feldgendarmerie Officers Visor
    I am sorry, couldn't find the thread when you first posted the cap.

    Fantastic thank you, that definitely is the same cap. So the consensus is that it’s a fake?

    I would say so - the detailed picture of the centerband was missing - this is not the Abzeichentuch one would like to see but some different fabric. This plus the circular top panel and the "non-officer-like" lining (which doesn't correspond to EM/NCO-linings of original caps either) made me think at the very beginning.
