Alright guys!
Picked up a neat m43 style german hat today. Have a few questions on it. Civilian or military? What unit? Is it wartime or postwar? I'll describe the best I can..
Black wool m43 style with reddish-pink piping on upper rim of hat. No insignia on outer portion of the hat. Inside has a leather type sweat band in the front. Has maker/mfg label in top portion. (described below) No other markings that I can see at this time.
Maker/mfg label sewn in top of hat covered with a diamond shape plastic cover.
"Vehmann-Weinhold oHG."
