Gents,
Apart from an expensive asking price, is this one all legit you think?

Great cap with pretty scarce feldgrau visor!! Very good shape too!
OK, the price may be "proud", but this cap is worth this price, however only concerning US bidders who do not have to pay additional custom fees as we must, poor collectors from old Europe... :x

I own myself such a M15 pattern cap for a Württemberg Landwehr/Reserve Offizier (or Portepee Unteroffizier), much rarer than a prussian one. Thanks God, I could buy it from a german seller and the final price including postage was about $ 600, two years ago.

A lovely cap Philippe, but what about the display head?? Did you also make this as with your display dummy? The head is almost better than the cap!!

Back to the eBay cap (link above): Isn't it weird the Prussian Cockade is somewhat off-centered in that red band?
 
I dont know a lot about these, but it does seem odd yes. The couple I have are more centered, but I guess it could have been "knocked" and bent the pins at some time in the past?

P.S. Sorry to hijack your thread Ron (not to be confused with Ron) but thanks for the heads up and yes I will be enquiring about zee heads :lol:
