I have my doubts and Manions is definitely not a rock solid source nowadays...

When was it 'rock solid'? It's had some nice stuff here and there but it's always been (IMHO) a dumping ground for fakes.

Good to see that Manions are weeding out all the crap like they promised to do at least 3 years ago.

"Headgear of Hitler's Germany" by Halcomb, Saris, and Spronk (1st edition, 1989) was used as reference on this item - page 285.

They had a good reputation and nice items in the 1980's... I realise it was a long long time ago....
Prices were also very attractive...in those pre-internet days.
Just pick up a 25 year old Manions catalog and you'll drool all over it, I guarantee it!
