SS Dachau m43 panzer cap - original?

[nonameno]

Hello Gentlemen,
What do you think of this SS Dachau m43 cap? From what I can tell in comparing to other pictures on this Forum, it looks promising. "Pirate" insignia is zig-zag machine applied. These are the only pictures I have currently from the seller.
Thank you,
Curtiss

Hello Gentlemen,
Thank you for the responses and comments. Here are two more pictures the seller has. I will post additional pictures if I can work a deal for the cap.

This picture appears to show some sloppy stitching at the visor connection point to the body of the cap?

Thank you,
Curtiss

this blurry picture shows the zig-zag weave of the attaching thread of the insignia to the body of the cap.

last picture shows a general view of the top body of the cap.

I don't see any red flags. The size stamp should be a blueish or purple color. The weave of the wool should be a zig-zag pattern. The back of the cap should NOT have a seam, and the back of the flap shouldn't either. There should be 2 pull-down tabs. There should be some bias material in the scalloped part of flaps. Post more pics when you get the cap. How much is it going for, if you don't mind revealing?

I saw it for sale by a private seller unknown to me at $999 or offers. I believe a forum member is buying it.

Cheers, Ade.

They WERE going for around $2,500 - $3,000.

the way the cap just "sits there" and falls in of itself is due to this leightweight material, and so typical of these caps, they also made blank rank insignia tabs out of this exact material, I have a few, its what gives the cap its shapless appearance if not worn.
