    Hello!

    Haven't posted much on these forums but now I've acquired something I really want to show to all of you. I collect Finnish visor caps and kepis and as such one of my all time greatest dreams was to get a Finnish m/18 kepi. The model in question was introduced late during the WW1 right after the Finnish civil war had ended. It never gained a lot of popularity and thus was in use for under a year making it extremely rare. To this day I only know of two kepis of this model that have survived to this day. The other being the one I recently managed to buy. I've had a repro made of the officers' version of the m/18 kepi and for a long time I thought that was as far I'd ever get to a real deal but a couple weeks back I got extremely lucky when the NCO version of the kepi was listed to a local auction site. It's salty beyond belief but I love it nonetheless. The last picture is the other m/18 kepi I know of for comparison, also NCO version.

    This "colourless" version existence is new info for me. I have only ever seen that brown color rimmed version once. Superb find!
