Ive only bought one other schirmmütze just a few weeks ago for my 22nd birthday (will post pics later) but Im already affected by the bug. And i want to get another, but before buying i thought i would consult the experts of this wonderfully informative site. Can anyone assist me in the way of identifying which of these are repros/bundeswehr and which are original wartime hats? Some are quite obviously suspiciously new looking but id still like some pointers! I also have the eagle for what I was told was an "artillery Side cap" embroidered swasteagle. I appreciate it, and i hope to have another of these beautiful works of craftsmanship to my home!

I have had in my bigger stuff collected 2 empty 106mm RCL Prac cases for years then recently had the opportunity to get a HEAT Finned head among a pile of other ordnance it was a bit tardy looking so cleaned & painted it did not do anything with the fins as they are a bit damaged from ground impact must have been at extreme range as it is virtually undamaged. I gather after firing and leaving the barrel the fins deploy as it has like a plunger arrangement underneath the base of the HEAT that appears to cam the fins out.
The 303 cartridge on the Rt is for scale the whole unit is pretty heavy more so than my Leopard 1 complete prac HEAT Round.
These things are hard to get here in Aus so I am pretty chuffed to have one in my collection. Will gradually post stuff that I have if the forum is interested.
Cheers
