More opinions?

[NTZ]

I guess my first question would be why does a SS visor have what looks to be an army acceptance stamp on the underside of the sweatband?

[BenVK]

Hmm..and it's been re-stitched as well...

[REMUS]

isn't this a cap like we are talking about in your thread about coloured piped visors,Ben?

a Heer visor,converted to SS,most likely after the war?
is there any opinion about the totenkopf and adler?

with black velvet?

Yes:

I think this one is more likely to be an older repro with some original parts like the sweatband added to it.

hello everybody,
thanks for your mails !
REMUS, please look the news pictures, it's not a WH shirmmutze removed in SS schirmutze, the black band is original at this hat, ( please look the new pictures, the yellow piping at the top is little broken, and under, the black band is present ! you see?
I know, this hat is very hard to find, but !
I wait your other opinions, and thanks again

[Daniele C]

the conclusion,stated by everyone else seems to be an old repro with original parts and fake insignia?

[demeter]

LELEZ,
the problem is :
everything the collectors are afraid of the SS, especially the hairstyles of colours, because untraceable... ( very very hard to find )

[REMUS]

Ok,maybe it's original,but if Ben and the others have doubts,I'm sure they have a good reason for that.
What about insignia,as mentioned,also fake.

I'm just trying to learn something about the cap,I hope there will be more replys to this one,maybe some proof about some parts being original,others not.
