From the Author
My original intention with this book was merely to provide historical details about the history of the German cap making industry and as many makers as I possibly could (something that had always been of particular interest to me!); at least, all of the makers who have come to be recognized as "major" producers (by sheer volume) by the collecting community, or makers whose products have long been recognized as representing consistently excellent (exemplary) quality. I had also long wanted to answer the question about what had happened to perhaps the most famous and well-respected German cap maker of all time, Robert Lubstein. From that beginning, I was then encouraged to expand the book with another complete section that offered a basic overview of German cap construction (though I did not take this to the degree rendered by Jill Halcolm in her multi-volume series) with a focus on reproduction headgear and modified original caps. I was very fortunate, because Schiffer Publishing Ltd. subsequently made major changes to its photographic requirements that, were The Collector's Guide to be printed today, would have blocked many of the pictures I used --actual online samples which came from the Internet (and many sellers with weak photography skillls); none of those actual examples of what a potential buyer faces online would have been acceptable to Schiffer. At any rate, the new section morphed the book into a major production that required three and a half years of research and a considerable outlay of non-reimbursed personal funds for postage and information fees (most Amtsgericht offices charged me for their information)--and for the services of a patent researcher in Berlin that I hired (the Federal Patent Office [Bundespatentamt] requires that all patent inquiries be carried out by a certified researcher selected from a list of names provided, of course, by the Patentamt).
There is a great deal of heated discussion among collectors about German cap manufacturing at the end of the war, and whether this, or that, material was used by this, or that maker.The fact is, we'll never know definitive answers for sure, since production figures from specific manufacturers* are essentially non-existent except in rare cases--thus, conclusions made by anyone, remain conjecture. However, one can make a logical analysis based on trends observed, facts that are known, limited available evidence, and deductive reasoning. For example, collectors continue to argue regarding substitute visor materials. The issue is that certain makers (Robert Lubstein is often chosen as the example) may have shifted from the normal Vulcanfiber visors previously used on visor caps to alternative materials like pressed cardboard (or other substitutes), because of lower cost, material shortages, war damage to visor manufacturers, or all of the above. However, the facts are that--all things considered--Vulcanfiber was relatively inexpensive to produce and did not require any materials critical to the war effort (thus the costs remained essentially affordable)--and it had proven durability. I am more familiar with Robert Lubstein (Berlin) than perhaps anyone outside his family: Herr Lubstein was an excellent businessman and a very sound, efficient business manager; it is therefore highly unlikely (in my opinion), that he would have allowed his entire stock of visors to reach a point of complete depletion--though he may indeed, have run out of a particular size if resupply were slow to arrive. At the close of the war, a far greater problem than material shortages for manufacturers was, in fact, delivery difficulties (a problem throughout the Reich, and one of the reasons why so much cloth SS insignia was found by US soldiers at the Dachau KZ storage facilities near Munich: production was not the issue--the problem was getting the product to the troops in the field since there was no transport (or no fuel stocks) readily available, or un-interdicted routes. Similarly, shipments of a particular needed visor size (if available) might not have been able to get through to Berlin, and thus, in this case, Lubstein might have looked for a viable replacement from a source closer than his Vulcanfiber supplier--but only in the visor size that he was short of, because Lubstein is unlikely to have been satisfied with any material but the Vulcanfiber if he could get it. Lubstein the man, was a stickler for old school production and I simply do not agree that he would have made a 100% blanket quality change to Ersatz materials in any case but one where he truly had no Vulcanfiber visors remaining (i.e., for a given size) and no hope of getting a refill in the time needed.
One wonders, in the last two to four months of the war, how much EREL product Lubstein was able to move out of Berlin to customers, given the same transportation problems?
At any rate, conclusions that I reach in my book are based on available evidence, available facts, trends observed, personality factors of the actors (when known), and logical deduction based on all of the above.
* However, Herr Lubstein--always the supremely efficient man--was a person who did leave behind personal copies of extensive inventory details for his firm (dated 1946 and 1947), along with copies of the legal documents concerned with closing the sale/purchase of the Heinrich-Roller Straße property in 1939 between the original owners, Stein & Herz [these two families left Germany to emigrate to the United States in 1939 or 1940], and Robert Lubstein (all of the above information is in my possession, very kindly provided to me by his grandson).

Outstanding Work!!
By Bluemax1914
This book is an outstanding effort, an invaluable reference for both the neophyte and advanced collector. Superb photography combined with well-written and germane commentary on each type of soft headgear worn by the German Wehrmacht before, and during WWII provides the reader/researcher with information not available in similar works. The author has included an extensive section covering the many known cap/hat manufacturers, with special detail given to Robert Lubstein, perhaps the premier maker of pre-1945 German visor caps. An excellent "quick reference" section details how to spot reproductions and alone is worth the price of the book and will save you some money if you are new to the hobby.If the author should read this, I own a Panzergrenadier officer visor with an identical mark as pictured on page 251 of the book, upper right corner, except the diamond containing the Masonic logo does not have "Berlina" below it, but the maker name of "Josef Huber uniformen, Landshut, Bay." followed by street address that I cannot decipher. (Photo attached) This maker is not included with those listed in the book.
I heartily recommend this work to anyone with an interest in this subject.

Wonderful book for beginer or advanced collector!
By Marcus Vaughn
I purchased Gary's book last year, and I am quite certain that it has already paid for it's self by helping me distinguish the fakes from the originals.
In my opinion it is an absolute must for beginers, and a fasinating delight for the advanced collector. Advanced collectors will find an exhaustive reference, concering the history of most all German military cap manufacturers, 1930's-present, 95% emphasis on Third Reich. The fact that Gary is a German language major enabled him to contact present day German Government agentcies, allowing him to extract tons of lost or forgotten information from vast German Archives. Gary's mastery of the language gives the reader a unique perspective of the 'German way of thinking', concering design, manufacturing, advertising and distribution of German cloth military headgear.
As for the photographs, well there are loads of 4/color photos. Beautiful originals as well as some ugly fakes, and everything in between. Original period photos of the military men wearing their headgear, indepth discussions on fabric types and grades, charts on fabric weaves, and cap "disections" are also contained. DRGM, RZM, patient and sweatband embossing stamps are all addressed.
Over all, a very well rounded collectors guide. With such an enormous undertaking, only the lack of space and extra pages limits any addional information. The only thing wrong with the book is that it does not have a volume or two to acompany it. Great job on a difficult subject! Worth every penny.
THIS IS A FIVE STAR BOOK, AND IS HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!
