    Quick SS hat question

    Hello...just a quick question..did EREL sonderklasse produce SS officers hats? I would imagine being a top shelf producer and private firm they would be in the position to make anything requested..but..im far from up on who did what in SS hats..thanks!

          Thanks..good to know.I will steer clear of it unless I hear otherwise. I have seen a beautiful wonderful Schellenberg SS visor..looked good to me..just not Erel, my only concern is that since Erel was a private maker..they could and Im sure did make anything custom to order....one typically sees a lot of double Erel Heer visors, I have one myself, but why not Luft or SS? Just curious...they didnt advertise as exclusive makers of Heer visors, ih a time when a visor was a visor was a visor, and Ive seen several period adds for their hats.

                According my list Erel did manufacture SS Sonderklasse Caps
                Sonderklasse meaning Special Class
                Kleiderklasse meaning Dress Class
                I leave it at your discretion

                  This was one of the (very) few Erel-made SS visors that I considered legit:

                          The most are Frankenstein visors.

                          Old really nice Heeresvisors build up to SS Visors.

                              Is it avaible for Allgemeine SS caps (EXTRA CLASS) ? I've seen a general ss one with this kind of label and a ventilated band with a hole (exactly through the TK eye)

                              Regards
