Yes, I do. However, it is hard to depict here. The wool in the early caps was of an excellent quality, whereas the later caps were of a lesser quality Trikot. I never actually handled the cap pictured here, but friends did and they tried to sell it to me while I was overwhelmed with the base closing process as well as a sudden upsurge of even more rare caps.
