Here we are - no stitches
Here we are - no stitches
No more stiches - if you look closely you can see that there was a straight line of stiches (no zig-zag!) holding the previous insignia. That would explain the crude stitches that hold the lining - I think the lining was opened in order to sew the insignia on and then resewn.
You have a sharp eye for detail, Erwesa!
I suspected that the Insignia was a later addition, as it doesn't match the very well -worn condition of the cap itself...

Thank you all very much for your great help! To conclude, original waffen-ss badge - fieldcap postwar, correct?
I believe that it's a Wartime Cap with Postwar-Applied Original SS Insignia...
Photo shows the lining of my caps...
Great! Thank you very much ;-)
Trap is hand sewn to simulate machine stitching, I don't like it or perhaps a Heer m-43 with ss trap to jazz it up
"perhaps a Heer m-43 with ss trap to jazz it up.". . My suspicion as well...
Thank you all very much for your great help! As an original Heer M-43 the colour was changed to black, correct?
