I saw this on e bay as well, nice copy. E bay, I have had very little luck on both German and US e bay, just do your homework, and beware!

When buying on ebay or other auction sites ALWAYS!! check out the item thoroughly before you spend good money. Post pics here of the item and get opinions first. Get a guarantee in writing from the seller that you can get your money back if item is not what it is sold as. Other wise Buyer Beware!!

I sent the seller a message that the cap is a repro; as I guessed, no response.

Yep, I saw this too and thought the exterior was damn good but under the hood told a whole different story. An original one could bring 3000.00 plus IMO

This is a perfect example of the fact that once a high-end goes into motion fake, it will never stop. Hat is now on an Italian auction site, Credit: BENE MERENTI GmbH:

No, it was from Black Cross Militaria. They sold it as a reproduction. The guy on Ebay did not, & no doubt the buyer saw this thread, and has consigned it to the Italian auction house (who are selling it as real.....)
