That's a stinker, made from overcoat textiles.

Mr. Spandau here is very expert in all Weimar epoch things.

Interesting. Thank you for the additional information.
The material thickness is strange, and oddly similar to my WW1 tunic. However the liner really raised a red flag as I started researching more. What I'd expect to see is the simple white cotton interior, no leather band and at least the HBAB + date stamp like Bill Shea's hat in post #3, which looks good.
Are there any guesses to when these hats started hitting the market? Apparently the hat that started this thread was bought 30 years ago.
Again, thank you for the help.

Hi
All been said already.
Sorry it is a bad one, very frustrating for you as a collector I'm sure but an interesting oddity indeed, so thanks for sharing.
I know that officers did customise their field caps and have recently acquired an original picture showing the addition of a chin strap to one by a company commander in the 1920's. However even if this cap was an original I feel the conversion to an alter art style look is unlikely as the caps were apparently not popular with officers and I reckon they would have got themselves a nice new 1934 field cap as soon as they came out. I know I would of !!!!!!!!.
cheers
Tony
