Bought this yesterday. I only saw it at the last minute and barely had time to register online for the live auction and I was in a complete panic especially when my boss wanted to have a chat with only a few minutes to go. It was a proper auction house, not ebay and I was listening in live to the auctioneer doing his stuff on my headphones. He’s not hanging about, average one lot per minute sold. Anyway, got rid of my boss just in time to hear my lot come up, "Lot 562, German Officers cap with chincords, starting bid £150" bang! someone in the room bids 150 straight away so I bid 160, he bids again 170 and I click the bid button again but I hear him say "sold for £170!" I’m now swearing out aloud and everyone in my office is looking at me! but wait, no..he says that an online bidder just got in and won it for £180, that’s me. Hooray!! Phew, that was exciting!

So here is the cap, I have no idea what the interior looks like, maybe it doesn’t even have one!
Those of you who know your caps will be able to tell why I bid on this though.

Who could the maker be?
