Nice tschapka

I like it, needs some TLC though...and the price is a bit much. (Once again, this is not mine, just found it on ebay)

Yes it is nice
the problem would be to find the correct rabatte
then hope that it would fit
I have not seen the 2 knots of the fangschnur held together like that
very neat

Interesting and lovely piece. The sweatband / liner look gold colored on my screen. Anyone seen that before? Officer model, but maybe a well-funded NCO (wooden fangschnur toggle, reverse colors on the plume)?

Good eye !
I missed that on the first look
a full officer should have a metal hook there
