    Default EM Luftwaffe flak white top Pekuro?

    I took a chance on this visor a number of years ago. It looks to be a Pekuro made cap given the stirndruckfrei system, but I'm open to other opinions. The white top is removable and is made of a softer cotton than the more rigid & coarse type you see on most of these caps. Curious what the forum thinks?

    There are two things that make me think:
    the first is, as you mentioned, the white top. These were made of marcella, sometimes also of gaberdine. I don't know whether this kind of fabric was used in originals. So, at best, the top might be a replacement.
    The second is the "stirndruckfrei" system. Peküro used black velvet - here we have a brown fabric. This was sometimes used by BaMüFa:

    + another maker (don't remember who it was):

    + yet another one without maker:

    Here this system is used by GAH (Georg A. Hoffmann/Berlin) in grey:

    It was, however also used by "Berlins Älteste Mützenfabrik" - the Breuer reproductions:

    I hope for you that it is a BaMüFa and am looking forward to the specialists' opinions.

    Thanks very much for your opinion ErWeSa, I agree on all points. I have seen tops similar to mine, but the lining is usually different. As with this example:

    Not a Pekuro, but I like it.....
