Some interesting observations in this thread. I'm no expert on this type of cap but would like to answer a few non the less.
Originally posted by Erich Wahl View PostSince loose SS tropical cap eagles are extremely rare then does the mere fact an SS tropical cap has one make it more likely than not it's an original cap?

One of the Czech fakes you speak of? it could be, there were many doubts expressed on my thread but at the end of the day, it's a calculated gamble with nearly everything that we buy and sometimes it pays off.
I'm sure dakcollector felt the same about the SS trop cap he bought?

I'm really sorry...you have severe halitosis, and it even reaches the states, so I'm sure it's all over Europe and Scandinavia. I'm not sure about China and the Orient, perhaps members can weigh in from there.

I handled the SS tropical field cap now on Hannah's Reich website @ the most recent MAX Show and IMHO it's a 100% original mint unissued cap.
The 5-line Wagenmann/Hehner stamp is exactly the same as a cap I picked up earlier this year (and posted on this WAF thread) that is also mint but with an SS tropical sleeve eagle in lieu of the smaller tropical cap eagle which apparently was in short supply.
With regards to the well worn SS tropical cap, I have no doubt about it's authenticity despite it coming out of the Czech Republic. Remember, the Waffen SS traversed through this region freqeuently as they moved in/out of Southern Russia & Greece and were fitted with tropical clothing for warmer climates/seasons.
I also greatly appreciate your PMs and favorable comments/feedback! Even though I focus on collecting DAK, this cap rocks :-)
