A-SS Officer's Cap: Help Needed

[Larry F.]

Gentlemen:

Not so long ago I posted an Heer General's cap for discussion. A friend of mine was considering buying it which he did. Thanks to all for their help, time, and assistance.

My same friend now has the oppty to purchase the attached A-SS Officer's cap. These are the only pics (pretty bad I know) he has for now but if more are needed, he can get them. I'm no cloth expert and am only posting these for him as he's somewhat "computer challenged". This is a four owner cap including the A-SS Officer who wore it. For what it's worth, the gentleman who own's it now bought it from another collector somewhere b/w 1969-1972.

IMHO, I think the cap if wonderful, but as mentioned before, am no cloth expert.

So, what do you guys think?

Thanks to all for your help and assistance.

Best,

Larry F.

Based on photos "not for me".

Based on pix alone, to quote Mr. Singer, "I would entertain doubts."
We need much better pix to give a final opinion.

[Larry F.]

Guys-I'll get much better pics and more of them from my buddy. He'll have to get them from the owner so it may take a little time. Thanks for the help so far.


Best,

Larry

If You Look Through Some Earlier Threads, You Can See This Trademark On Two Early Hats From My Collection. Neither Hat's Trademark Resembles T His Piece. From What I See In The Images, I Must Concur With My Esteemed Colleagues.

Larry, I still would like to see additional close-up shots of this cap if at all possible. It is noteworthy for having been a "super-fake" of its era.

Stonemint---working on securing additional pics. My buddy called me tonite and he's requested multiple shots of this cap from the owner.

Thanks.

Nice cap
could it be possible to know how much it's sold ?

(I've seen the same maker logo on a EM/NCO SA kepi, wich was without any doubt an original )

Thank you.

Pascal--yours is embossed, and undoubtedly wartime/pre-war--I have seen this logo used before on fakes, I just can't recall where right now.

Any SS generals needs to be scrutinized to the highest degree. IMO the pics sure don’t help the claim of authenticity. Is it the photo or is the velvet cap band as seen in post #1 wrinkled and wavy? Isn’t the piping a bit thin too? I would like to see a close up of the weave.
