Two Flakhelfer hats

[Wittmann1944]

Here are 2 Flakhelfer hats from my collection. There is a slightly different color. This is probably due to the different manufacturers. They are in very good condition.

beautiful caps
they date from 1943 I think, I observed that during this year of manufacture, the caps had the RZM label and the sweatband and the rBNr stamp as well as the two small eyelets on the side, these 3 elements disappeared in 1944 and only remains the RBNR stamp with the date

The fact that the sweatband disappears on the "1944 version" and undoubtedly relates to the new rule edited below for summer caps (thanks GARRY!)
"in 1943, the leather insert (sweatband) on summer caps was no longer attached during manufacture (Mitteilungsblatt der RZM dated 22.5.1943 p26)."
