5 more rescues!

As with many things in our market place, nowadays caps are made in China, Pakistian & other Asian shops.  Nearly every brand name is now copied and sold at a far lower price which is very attractive to the budget conceious buyer.  However some of these caps arrive from their source and are, well dispappointing.   The price is such that it is not worth shipping back overseas.   What to do?

On the right is a sample of what comes from a major vendor out of China, sweet huh!  Cap Rescue changes the piping color, adds quality FHQ Insignia, Chincord & a little loving age and out comes the cap on the left - A South Russia veteran Signals Officer's Cap!

Not bad caps, but there is that plastic visor & poorly placed wreath & cockade, not to mention now eagle!  You can see the results of Cap Rescue in the foto on the top of  the page!

One of the really choice PLASTIC visors coming out of Asia, they have to go!  Cap Rescue can take this out & replace with a correct looking visor that will not scream CHEESE at you.  I actually just got in a cap that was pretty nice in workmanship except for the visor.  Will show you when done.  BTW the cap this came off of is the pre 1943 General's cap on top of the page which now sports one of Cap Resuce's visors!

Not a bad start but had that horrible Chinese fake Bevo.   FHQ bevo, hand sewn as were many originals, aged.

Dyed piping, added the metal insignia & aged.  The cap band is still a bit small but now the cap can have some dignity.

Dyed piping, added panzer beret eagle & early TK then aged.   Rare early SS armored cap!
