Amazing......still no comments!

Sorry I did not respond quickly enough to apease you. Some of us work to afford our goodies. Nice cap. Is the color gone from the roundel or is it just the picture, the roundel looks all black.

What makes this a "pilot cap ?

this piping is for "flight" personnel,,,aviators or paratroopers

I believe the color is gone, but I cant tell for sure untill I've recieved it.....

So it isn't necessarily a "Pilots" cap. A member of a flight crew would wear yellow also ?
What color did ground crew wear ? I remember the guards in the "Great Escape" wore both yellow and red piping.

Congrats my friend

Looks nice,waiting for the new pics

Easy my friend, looks like the cap is a fake!

The chin strap is not the proper one for a Luft NCO visor. The one on this cap is the type found on political/cival type visors.

New information brings new hope.

Some more pics.

Some info:

The stamp mentions Fl.H.K. Wunstorf which is the Fliegerhorstkommadantur or Air Field Station Command at Wunstorf. http://www.relikte.com/wunstorf/index.htm

So the cap belonged to a member of the ground staff of the air field....he could well have become a pilot later in the war but at the time of issue not.

Comments will be highly appreciated!
