Nothing?
Nice cap, maybe 84 or 71 at a guess?

going by the cartoon/comic I'll go with 71
Hi M D Helmets, a nice pre 1970 BW Heer Panzer visor cap, it was made in November (XI marking) the year (which will be a 1960's year date) being obscured by the sticker.... all pre 1970 caps had the ribbed cap band in black, with some examples turning anything from a lighter shade of black trough to tan colour ! due to light exposure throughout its life, the main body of the cap being a dark grey...after 1970 the band was black with a velvety appearance (loosing its ribbed look) also all Heer uniforms adopted a standard light grey colour including all headwear.....as before 1970, the colour of these uniforms had tended to be from a blue grey, every shade of grey through to almost black !
Prost ! Steve.
Here's a comparison, pre 1970 left, post 1970 right....different animals !
Prost ! Steve.
Thank you Steve! As always you're a wealth of knowledge when it comes to BW items. I think it's a very near looking visor. I can't afford a wartime panzer visor, lol.
Edit: the year under the tag is 1964. I can see a 4 at the end.
Thought to whack this in
