I'm selling off a number of Janke caps I've had as place-holders in my collection since the early 1990s. Here are two of them along with a recent LB cap.

Janke Heer officer M-43. Stamped LaCo, 56, 1943. I purchased this cap through Bill Bureau in 1991. Two pebbled aluminum buttons. No insignia. Condition is excellent. No wear. No fading. The feldgrau wool has great color/texture. The cap was folded and displayed between a tunic and waistbelt. $50

Janke Luftwaffe officer M-43/Bergmütze. Stamped "Die Qualitätsmütze", 56, 1943. Also purchased through Bill Bureau in the early 1990s. This is an M-43 cap with a short visor (5,5cm). The blue-grey wool is excellent -- superior to the wool used today. Very light wear. No insignia. $50

Lost Battalions second generation Bergmütze. Purchased about two years ago. Leather halfmoon sweatband. LB field grey wool. Pebbled buttons were replaced with Edelweiss buttons. Size 57. No insignia. Cap was dampened and dried to get the 'pinch' at the front. $60
