Hi Nick, I just picked up another Muller to go with that Admin I showed you about a year ago, this new one was straight off German Ebay.
A stripped Artillery that was an NCO. I have it for my own collection, so NCO strap and black buttons plus a nice set of metal insignia are on the way.
This is the first NCO Private purchase Muller Heer cap that I have seen. The seller was the grandson. I will post some pics when it is ready.
It is nicely marked with a proper Muller logo.

Robert--I agree, on this one, the insignia is probably repro, or original faded zinc sprayed with gold spray-paint. I have seen fakes of this series with the fire-gilding.
I forgot to mention, these fakes often (but not always) have the "snake eating its tail" piping joinder instead of being abutted or overlapped.
(BTW, has anyone seen a period hat with the snake>tail piping? I never have, but there is always a first time....)Attached FilesNEC SOLI CEDIT
