I like it. With this RZM tag, I would expect to see the early SA-marine tag, but I am sure it was upgraded by the SA-Mann when the regs for the new insignia came out. Nice score....

BTW, RZM #2 is correct for Breiter!

More thougts guys ?

What could be the everage value today of such a cap ?

The seller is asking 3000 €uro, IMO really too high priced for such a cap!

OK it's not common, but a very few collectors are interested in the SA-Marine or SA...

Thanks for thoughts

I haven't seen one offered for a long time (and I watch because I own one).

Last (4/23/06 at 11:00 A.M. E.S.T.) was described as such:

"87.German WW2 Marine-SA visor cap. Extremely rare hat that is never seen anymore. Cap is dark navy blue with a black mohair band. Has gold pebbled side buttons and an SA style chinstrap. Gold eagle and wreath insignia with "SA" cockade inside wreath. Visor is a naval style. Interior of cap is dark blue polished cotton. Has dark brown sweatband with RZM tag underneath. Sweatshield is mostly intact but has cracks. Hat size is about a 56 or 57. Has a large floppy naval that really looks good on a mannequin head. No mothing. If you ever wanted one of these, this is a rare chance to own a beautiful example. Choice! $3200"

So that was five years ago. Frankly, it's easier to find an SS officer's visor for sale than one of these. Rick

Was it not on Gerard Stetzelberger's site aka "Relic Hunter" ?

[Rick C]

Yup.

Haven't seen one offered since, on this side of the pond.

Way too high. You can count the # of people who would buy such a cap on your hand. I would say $2000 on its best day.
I think one of the German dealers also has one for sale.

This was also my price level and was my offer too... around 1500 €uros...

Its a RZM regulation following cap with early tag, what is not often available, sure updated, but that's really not a problem !
