Hi Paul,
We had one of these up for discussion back in 2009 and at the time I could not find any mention of summer caps with silver cord in the regulations. That has not changed over the years so I'm wondering if the seller gave you any useful info that shows the item description to be true. Does anyone else have any more information on the addition of silver braid to summer caps?
Hello Garry,
All my apologies, but the thread you quotes has nothing to do with Paul's overseas cap.
Of course it does. Both caps have a silver cord which I cannot see mentioned in the regulations or indeed anywhere else. Please read carefully what I wrote in this thread and the other one. I'm not disputing the caps themselves, I'm just interested in finding out what the silver cord means. The german forum I mentioned on the other thread states that the cap is for "Führeranwärter" and I assume that the seller of Paul's cap described it as being for a "leader". How do they know that? Do you understand me now?
I'm getting a little sick of being told "yes, yes, regulations blah blah". Firstly, we'd be lost without them and secondly I have never said that all items should be judged solely by the regulations because to do so would be rather stupid and I'm definitely not that...
Hello Darin,So here we have a cap that appears good, but the piping is not in the regulations. Possibly added by an HJ leader or Anwarter during the period, but not addressed in the regulations. Sometimes in hand the only possible way to fully come to a conclusion with non regulation items for me. The regulations are very important in collecting and avoiding fakes, and so is hands on experience IMO.
Hi guys it just arrived today and at first look find no reason to return it looks very good. One thing I like is they have applied a tanged badge probably a knife insignia for a good flat look and fit, and tangs do not come through the liner which denotes a more professional maker. Have a look and give me and the others your thoughts. I still wonder if it is from a school leader AHS or NPEA.
