SS and Reichswehr caps, leather peak and novel chin straps
A comparison of two caps in space and time.
One of the Waffentraeger der Nation which helped hoist Adolf into power at the wrong moment, and the other of the organization that eventually profited a lot from it. Whether the two ever crossed paths in real life, only providence knows and will not say. Attachment 198674Attachment 198675
PS I have a weakness for Rw caps, which I do not own any longer. I de accessioned them all, actually. But the leather peak and the one off chin strap are interesting to people who care about such things and cannot find productive things to do with their lives.
