Ss hat, kepi and kriegsmarine hat opinions please !

[jimjim91607]

Dear Members,

I have been offered these 3 hats today.

One looks like a pioneer hat with SS insignia stuck on there,
is this a true genuine SS item as I do not think so ???

The insignia looks good and maybe some one stuck it on the hat although the band looks black ?

The other is a Kepi which I do not know what area or is it unusual , the other is a Donald Duck type hat.

Of course the SS one is the one of interest, but I am not quite sure what it is.

The items are a 6 hour drive away and so I really need your expert advice,
any comments are really appreciated.

Thanks again, regards Steven.

These pictures were sent by iPhone and I have asked the seller to send some photos
of the inside of the 3 hats.

Here are the other 2 hats.

Thanks, Steven.

SS hat is a re-badged BRD visor.
Kepi has a chance--need interior photos.

Someone else can comment on the KM cap.

Dear Stonemint,

Here are some photos of the Kepi inside.

The guy wants $1600 for it, is this a reasonable price ?

Thanks again for all your help !

Cheers Steven.

RZM tag is bogus, sorry

I like the SA Kepi but it does have its issues. I don't like the fake label inside and the eagle is replaced. It looks like an Army visor eagle. This is mine for comparison. From what I can see the top edges of the kepi youre looking at appear rough as is the sweatband. I paid 700 for my kepi 3 years ago at the SoS and I'm very pleased with it. You will find a better kepi if you do you research for much less than 1600. I would pass on all 3 pieces of headgear that you have shown here. These kepi's are for the Nordmark or Sachsen group.

without more pics of the KM cap its impossible to give any comment.

Hats are poor/fake prices are ridiculous , forget about it . Rob

The only good one is the SA kepi. The eagle looks ok, but the tag is bad. Plus it is WAY OVER-PRICED. Walk away.

Dear SgtB,ROBB,compressore,RKarum,stonemint,

THANKS again for all your comments and help.

I agree these items have been all altered and messed with and are for
sale at an antique dealers store.

You save me a long trip and 6 hours of drive time.

Have a great weekend !!

Regards Steven.
