Looks great! I hope it proves to be original and as you say, replace the eagle and you're onto a winner!

re: Schellenberg Heer Artillery Officers Schirmmütze
Thank you Gents, much appreciated.
Late war because of the trikot material? The ersatz pressed paper sweat band? Or something else?

re: Schellenberg Heer Artillery Officers Schirmmütze
Does anyone know where I might find a replacement eagle? I've trawled through my usual favourite dealer sites but none have them for sale. Any pointers would be appreciated.

I honestly would leave the eagle in situ.
Cheers, Ade.

Hi Adrian
Its late war based on the sweatband and the black underneath of the peak which may indicate that it is also lower quality material IMO. Also the tricot material is more common on later war examples of officer caps. The quality in manufacture remains but the materials available were not.
Also I have a" spare" insignia box with several eagles and this may be of interest to you. Pm me if your still looking for one.
cheers

Please do not remove the eagle.
It might not be aesthetically pleasing but neither is the chewed piping and no one (I hope) would advocate replacing that.
If you would like the chewed spots to be sympathetically repaired, drop me a line and I'll be happy to do it for you.

Thank you Ben, do you mean a repair to the existing eagle? That of course would be the much preferred choice.
I had no idea it was possible to do so if you're willing to restore it to a better look than it is at the moment I'll be sure to drop you a line and we can work out the details.
Thank you.
