Early SS cap insignia. Opinions?

[Gernika81]

Hi mates. I'm not an expert in SS insignia so I'd like to know your opinions on this lot I've been offered as an early SS insignia. I get confused with SA eagles and panzer totenkopfs. Also many fakes around, and before making a decision, wanna make sure. Many thanks for your help.

Regards,
Ricardo.

Just want to bump this up.

I spoke to Ric about it and i had some concerns about the eagle. Would like to hear what others think.

Cheers,
Mil

The eagle is good.

The swastika lost the black paint and one prong is repaired. It is not impossible to find an eagle in better quality.

The skull is the second skull pattern from the Berlin hoard.

[carlsson1982]

yes the skull is from the Berlin findings. But VERY easy to find.
It has also the typical saw-shaped prongs characteristic of the good one's.

The "Berlin horde" style of totenkopf was probably just as likely to have been made as an Army regimental totenkopf, IMO.
