Militaria and WW2 history forum and topsites. Sõja ajaloo portaal.
I am thinking of making an offer on this Schirmmutze, but I have never purchased one. I have attempted to research these on the forum and have come up with a few questions. Pardon the pictures from the seller…I think they are using an older camera.
Here are my main concerns:
The RZM tag seems out of place. I have not seen another RZM tag in my research. Does this seem to fit with other General Officer visors?
The center of the cockade appears to be gold bullion and I have not been able to locate a photo of a similar cockade.
Does the metal cap badge fit with the gold bullion on the rest of the visor?
Is the material correct? It appears to be felt.
Thank you for any info you are able to provide…Have a great night.
I would appreciate any comments.
Thanks in advance.

May I show you this private purchased/depot made lightweight tunic of an "Oberfeld" please? All the time it was a strong wish of me to get a Wehrmacht tunic. Now I have done, it’s on hold so the anticipation ist much greater for me. I am enjoying it very much
I have chosen consciously Espenlaub Militaria as my provider so I think it’s authenticity is not in question, istn’t it?
According to my sources those kind of tunic was used originally at the Eastern Front, but could be seen on all frontlines in summer 1943/44. I would be very pleased if you had some more information about this tunic, e.g. hints about the time period of its production, occasions about its use?
All comments are wellcome.
With best wishes
