Question use of “gepruft” in caps

Hi

Just finished the washing up, and plenty of it there was, during which my mind wandered thinking:

a) why don’t I buy a dish washer ? and

b) when a cap was marked gepruft or given it’s acceptance stamp by a unit was this administered just to private purchase caps for other ranks or did the officers also have to get their cap inspected ?

I have two examples that are officers (in respect of having the silver cord) but are marked with acceptance stamps.

My conclusion is that they are "upgrades" and were originally other ranks private purchased caps.

It would be nice to know either way though.

Any thoughts please ?

cheers

tony
