SS Visor Cap

[ww2germanhelmet]

Good morning fellows. I have a chance to pick up this SS Visor Cap. I am not super versed in these so I would appreciate opinions. The condition is scary...either stone mint or pure fake. For the kind of cash it takes to buy these, I don't want to risk it without getting some other opinions. Thanks in advance!

Cheers! Dave

I noticed that the swastika seemed off. Hopefully more opinions on the cap itself will come in.

Has it got an RZM tag inside the sweatband?

Steve,
I had the fellow send a pic...not the best though...

I am leaning toward this being a good cap and I believe the SS TK is good.

For me, a part eagle, cap is OK. 26 code maker for Otto Schlientz - Michael Hoffmann - Straubig
Cap in stunning condition

Id like to see the Heer General visor next to it but thats just me. Think this one is probably ok. Matt

Good eye there Matt. I will post the General Visor in a separate thread.

Dave,

it looks to be a stunner in that little tease that you can see. I bet she is a sexy beast for sure! Matt

Matt,
Just hoping that the General Visor is real. Posted it up so let's see how it goes.

Cheers! Dave

The first photo tells me that the cap is absolutely real but the eagle is a fake and the skull is probably added post war. (Original zink Overhoff)
