Enlisted Filz Tschapkas are well documented, but does anyone know of an all-felt officer's Tschapka?

I've never seen any photographic evidence to support their existence.
Thanks,
Brad
 
There is one in the latest Kube option. It passed his test. . I do not know of any clear photographic evidence.
 
As Joe mentioned there is one listed and pictured in Kube's latest auction catalog. it is Bavarian, looks nice but a starting bid or reserve of 4800 euros :eek:

Yea.....I would think twice about Kube putting something in his auction as a sign of originality. I have seen some absolute pieces of crap come out of his auctions.

In his defense, however, when a fake has been presented to him he has pulled it from the auction. I remember a 94th, where I was completely fooled. It was owned by senior German collector, and it looked perfect. Tony Cowan had me pull the helmet plate off at SOS several years ago, and OMG it was terrible on the back. It showed up in the next Kube auction and when someone other than I informed him that it was fake HE pulled off the plate looked for himself and pulled it from the auction.
 
Here you are the only model that I know...
