Here is a few pics of a hat I picked up from a vet years ago. Could it possibly be Luft? I cannot find any markings on it anywhere. Any info appreciated. Rocky

This is not a military issue piece. Could be worn by a Luftwaffe Soldier, but I doubt it. Back in the day, there were a lot of open cars, many people drove motorcycles with side cars as cars were expensive. Nobody wore helmets, but caps like these. Civilian motorcycle, cabriolet (convertible), open car, pilots hat. Still quite commonly found as plenty of those were sold and worn in the 1920s and 30s. May not even be German, with no maker or marks impossible to tell.
