Thanks DAK D.

had a look at that dealers stuff.loads of nice badges, lots of multiples...either he's come across a large undiscovered shops stock or he's got a good supplier of quality repro badges!

he's got what I'm looking for, although at €180 I think I'll wait.... Especially when it'd be nigh impossible to fold for sewing...

Hi @Bil4338,

Mario's reputation for finding German kit is outstanding and he updates the site on a regular basis, so it is always worth looking.

I would pass on that one for a restoration project too.

Fantastic cap and a once in a lifetime find.

I've been looking for one for at least 10 years!

Missed out on this one because, like a tit, I left it to the last minute to bid which was too late.

It sold for just 100 euro! I'm still weeping blood about that...

Hi @BenVK,

Thank you!

The cap you missed out on, as you know was a cracking example of an officers Robert Lubstein 1941 made M40 in a large size.and an North Africa pick up in my opinion.

Keep searching they are out there
