    Death's Head

    Greetings Fellows,
    I picked this cap up today from a local vet along with a WWII German artilery NCO visor cap. I was hoping that someone could tell me something about this.
    I have posted it in the Imperial Forum, but I was hoping that someone here might be able to tell me something about the Death's Head and maybe a little about this cap.
    Thanks

    A Close View

    Here is a close up of the skull and the cockade. I dont know much about this stuff, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the cockade is not orriginal. But, I will let you guys give me your opinions about that.

          The cockade is original - as worn by Prussian non-commissioned ranks on their muetzen.

          There is a cockade missing from the top - probably the red/white/black national cockade.

          The totenkopf looks OK but the picture is not enough to make a definitive judgement. You'd need to remove it for a look at the back, and that's always fraught with danger,

          As for the cap itself - looks like a peaked cap with the peak removed.

          I think what this is is a 'tampered with' old cap made to look like something used by the Iron Division.
