no need a discussion IMO it is fantasy cap all-around

That's what I thought, but my knowledge on caps is limited. I never saw this style of cap in SS service and RZM tags in similar types. Also the tag is way different.

I seen this and was going to post but did not bother..
I have seen re-actor caps that look better than this..

The seller has a SS zelt with the same type tag http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=856385

It appears to be an early black wool version of the Austrian M08 Forage cap. Not sure I would dismiss it so quickly. There were many odd ski type caps worn by the early SS troopers....what if the RZM tag is the earliest known version of the oilcloth tag? I'm not saying it is or isn't.....just asking out of curiosity.

The cap you are referring to :

No!..... not the cap I'm referring to. The cap I'm referring to is much earlier and would be worn by Hitlers early bodyguard units....it would be in essence a black wool Hitlermutze.
