Opinions? : EM Krätzchen: WW1 German Field Cap
Article about: I'm currently considering buying this field cap, I've been comparing against the ones on here and similar ones on the Ruptured Duck site, personally I thinks it looks a good one even though

I'm still thinking that this is an honest Model 1907 Krätzchen for EM / NCO's, but I've been unable to find any info on the "36" stamp

Hi Paul, hard to say on these pictures. Can you get a closer up of the outside so we can see the cloth weave ? Stamp remains a mystery, may be a costumier's stamp post war as it has faint letters stamped above it which would give us a clue. from these pictures can't tell 100%. It has a chance but I would be cautious. cheers Tony

Thanks for the reply, Tony. I'll ask the seller for the photos.

Hi Paul, still not convinced on this picture, is it a private sale and if so coming out of a collection ? Looks very minty for 100 +. These things are best judged in hand. They are hard to find as they have been heavily faked over the years. Provenance is always a help.....cheers Tony
cheers

Here are four for comparison. The front left is the one you need to look at the weave on as it is a pre war manufacture and has a very different look to the uniform cloth of the others.

Yes its a private sale, still trying to get better photos, but he seems to have stopped responding... so i think we know what that means ... thanks for the help Tony, I really appreciate it, as this is definitely out of my comfort zone.
