              BTW, Shea has a textbook HJ Ski-cap on his site in mint condition, made even rarer by the fact that it is from an AHS (Adolf Hitler Schule):

                              Kurt posted this HJ lad wearing a ski cap with the trim. However, I believe this would be a non-RZM civil hat with HJ insignia added.
