This might be useful for reference purposes. Here are two different berets on period pictures, the insignia on one looks grey and one off white, (compare the color with the white on the shoulder straps) courtesy of first Erich QueenAttached FilesLast edited by jacquesf; 11-02-2008, 07:23 AM.

This piece was listed on ebay before it became eban. I printed these at the time so the details are lacking but they are the same type of insignia as Richard P has posted.
The beret is attributed to SS Obersturmfuhrer Georg Schonberger when he was in command of the Pz Spah.zug for LAH. He later commanded the Pz regt.
The eagle on the Kris's beret is to much of a departure IMO.I would have to see a period photo before I could accept it.

Steve,
Man...you've been holding out on me! That is the exact same insignia, albeit straight stitched instead of zig zag. I sincerely hope you have the full set of photos off ebay. Did the beret sell? How do you feel about it's authenticity? I have never seen a label like that in a beret of any type. Many thanks for sharing even if you felt the beret was bad.
Richard

I don't know either but my guess would be in the $35-$45K range.
I like the bird,just as funky looking as these type of skulls..Which in their own right are cartoon-ish.
