    Concentration Camp Hat Opinion

    Greetings

    Once in awhile at auctions, impulse takes over and I buy something that is suspect. This may have been one of those times. But generally I have done ok at auctions - so what the heck.

    Opinions on this concentration camp hat would be appreciated. I am confused why the prisoner number and yellow triangle (not inverted) are sewn on the front of hat. I have traced the number to a female Auschwitz prisoner, but from what I understand females were not issued the hat, but a scarf.

    I can only surmise this is fake or a vet or Pole, or dealer, at some point has stitched bringback items together or a collector did a bubba job.
    Here's a link. And thanks in advance.

        In my opinion, this kind of item will be very difficult to authenticate.

          "I have traced the number to a female Auschwitz prisoner."
          Is there a record of camp inmates somewhere then?

              Thanks. And yes you can trace prisoners through several Holocaust Memorial websites.
