I agree with all of the points that Donald stated and I would add that in my opinion the feldgray lower strip between the visor and the black band is too wide and thick, the black band is also wider than is normally seen on this style of field cap and the balck band appears to be covered in velvet type material where the originals of this style would have been in wool badge cloth.
SS Officer's crushers are an entirely different matter, but even with these the velvet used on this cap is very thick and very coarse weave compared to the period caps that I have seen.
As to price or value it is hard to say since so few originals ever see public sale. I would think that any orignal cloth covered visor regulation SS crusher would bring $15k and up. The leather or leather composition visor versions would not be that far behind, but are found slightly more often.
