Outstanding.....the last white cap sold by Collectors Guild several years back for $55k US or thereabouts.

I think I'll take these to the bank tomorrow and put them in the safe deposit box. I'm stunned, quite literally.

You need to talk to BenVk to get the visor properly re-attached IF the consensus is that that's the right thing to do. I know I would.

Congratulations.

... was a General with silver piping and waffel biquet style, this one here is an Off grade. Very very nice!

He shows up on the 1938 Dienstaltersliste as SS # 5225. Outstanding find

If you put them in the bank, you might aswell take a picture and sell them to someone who will display them.
They should be displayed....I should become a bank robber knowing how much TR militaria is in bank boxes

Hi,
Really nice caps you have there ,are there any photos of the guy that they belonged too and is it the same guy that that lived in the US after the war?

Thank you. I have retained a researcher recommended by a fellow member who is looking into his history; he is going to see if there is any photographs of this individual as well as whether or not he is the same Emil Bihler as came to the US.

Just to reattach the visor, which will probably necessitate replacing the cork liner. Then again, I might leave it as is for the time being.

"I might leave it as is" Good idea Eric as when you do restore it there is no going back! I would leave as found especially if planning to sell them....

Just my opinion and they are yours to do as you like.
