Voso commandant had M69

[Ser-g]

Finelly i have one of these caps.

It just came in with the mail today.

It has a few moth holes that i didnt know of, but nothing to bad.

The cockade seem to have been there for a little time, but there are some markings of an army officer cockade that one was there. I love the way velvet will retain impressions over time.

The crown wing looks to have been there about the same duration the cockade has. thank god there was no hole made in the fabric, the seam was losend and the badge was stuck through the seam opening. Happily something that can be fixed easily if i would get rid of the badge there.

The cap is all original en dated 1977 size 59.
I have never seen an cap as this one with a crown badge, as they did before m69 commonly.

About the cord, it seems to be the well known m90 yellow one at first sight.
When you look closer it is very similar to the yellow m90 ones in all aspects except that it is made of goldwire as the proper officer cord would be. it has some good patina to it, it is atleast 30 years old or so.

Any thought on fixing this one up?
- new cord ?
- army officer cockade
- get rid of the crown wing? or not ?
