I am looking for one similar to this, but I will not spend $65 dollars for it. No, I am not a Nazi wannabe ! I just like the cap.

My cousin is a WWII Germen memorablilia dealer. He makes a trip or two to Germany per year on buying trips. He was one of the guys that did a lot of the uniforms for the actors in Saving Private Ryan. If need be, I'm sure he can hook you up, but actual German stuff ain't cheap.

Here's a link to my cousin's website. He really is an expert in german military memorabilia. He has been studying the shit since we were small children for Christ's sake.

I'm just a collector. I have a ton of WWII German/Nazi militaria, sourced from my German & Austrian relatives; to include coins/bills, grain sacks, helmets, flags, knives, etc..

If you like the style of cap, it's still in use & has been since the '50s in Germany, Austria, Norway & Denmark,as well as repros of wartime stuff.
Heavyweight, lightweight materials & in about any color or camo style as well.

I know this is pretty old here but I just stumbled across this site while looking for something else.

http://www.epicmilitaria.com/

I don't know how much 21.95 pounds is but it doesn't sound like a lot. Check it out, they have some cool WWII paratrooper jackets and pants, and a lot of German uniform pieces.
