Luftwaffe side cap

Article about: Up for grabs in an estate sale, wondering if this one is legit. Missing bullseye. Not sure on worth in this condition. Thanks!

    Ahh! 25 bucks? Cash could not have come out of my pocket fast enough. NH
    My patience on using estatesales.net pays off occasionally haha. There is also a Hitler Youth one that is a bit more mothy with no insignia. I imagine it's priced similar so I may throw him $10 and see if he bites.

    Your are mostly correct. Different manufacturers had different chains of supply that would result in fabric being sourced from different places. Furthermore, as the war continued, the Germans transitioned more to using synthetic lining materials (rayon mostly) for caps and uniforms. I’m willing to be that the cap you found is mid/late war manufactured
    Good to know, thanks for sharing your knowledge!

    So this came today. It looks like a size 56, manufactured in 1941 or 1944. I can't tell what the wording between the size and date are however.
