Don't feel you need to make comments in every thread. Watch, listen, research and learn. Comment when you have something to add to the discussion. The expirienced guys will see this and take you seriously. They will be more willing to take the time to help you.
JMHO.

Cap Band

The cap is very nice. The band looks like black wool to me, rather than velvet, and its color piped!

I am going to go with WH on the hat. No way is that a black velvet band. Also, compare the black wool collar tabs in tone to the cap band. To me the band is dark green.

Does anyone have an example of the 'rank' side or reversed runic tab in their collections?

Maybe this helps .... same man, same cap, two years later.

It appears to be a Heer visor with an Overhoff skull added.

Skull

Looks like an SP40 to me. I could be wrong.

[Ian Hulley]

Mmmmm, you could be right, it's certainly got the wide-eyed and legless look about it.

Ian

[M Wipf]

Mmmmmmm... Yes, I must agree ..
