I just wanted to show you guys this NCO cap that arrived 15 minutes ago. The exterior is almost stone mint but the inside shows that is has been worn a bit. I wanted to point out that the reichs Kokarde is kissing and that there is a metal tip and the end of the liner, what could this be? Enjoy!
P.s. pretty sure the képi has a repro chinstrap.

I really like this style! Very nice!

I found one that looks very similar in construction but with a reddish orange color to the lining.

Your French kept is great looking as well. Congrats on the score!
 
Beautiful cap. The Reichs Kokarde was added in 1897 - this cap might never have had one. Hard to tell from the pictures, but I don't see evidence that it was ever there - which makes the condition even more remarkable. Congrats!
