    I finished up the cap. M40 forage cap had to be ordered separate from the insignia. It was a nightmare to sew on the eagle. The square wasn't so bad. I'm happy with how it came out. These were apparently all hand sewn on and quality of the sewing isn't much better than mine. The second cap did come with the insignia already on so it looks a lot nicer. These caps are both supposed to be very accurate reproductions and from looking at originals, I believe they are. Second cap is with my original Luftwaffe helmet.
