Afrikakorpsrat64 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Picked up this cap many years ago. It's from the late '50's early '60's , movie studio prop. Mabe for "Tobruk" or one of those films at the time. Didnt have any eagle when I got it, only had the white Waffenfarbe soutache(since removed). I also had a tropical Gas mask can (had a '44 date in it) Painted Hollywood DAK yellow. was used in the series "Band of Brothers". I do still have some German Gaiters from that series. Just sharing, these things kind of have there own place in collecting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Thanks for showing us Tony, It's very similar to the one I wanted to buy (but the seller classed it as a 1942 original & no markings) but I think it had a red or yellow band/ ribbon very thin around the centre? Best to you...Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Rat Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Many Thanks Tony, If I find one I will send you the images to check it please. Didn't realise at all that they sold for as much as that, the one I was going to buy sold for £550. Maybe get one sometime just a memento for my Dad who fought the buggers in the Western Desert with the ----8th Army, as you know the story. Take Care and Very Best to you...Ian 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
