Did anyone else see this cap?

I was just surfing along and found it. I've never heard of www.vicmart.com before...

The seller says the cap comes from the "AVALA film" company. I did a bit of research and they were the co-production company on the film Kelly's Heroes...

Wow that is some bad repro insignia!

I agree, the insignias are repro at least the skull. I use to have a SS fieldcap that had exactly the same skull insignia.

That's right Jerry, rub it in a bit more why don't you!!

Actualy, compared to some of the stuff I've seen on this very board, I didn't think they were that bad...

What about this cap then, I'm 100% sure this one is spot on..

Aaaww, you guys don't know your arse from your elbows..look at the cap again...

Very late, late war...1970's Waffen SS Assault Cook's Over the Sea's Cap.
100% emerald green wool cloth type stuff with the highly sought after fuzzy hair finish, text book bevo smiley skull with one and one half inches of black backing cloth surrounding it and last but not least, a beautiful hand applied trapezoid in the classic Panzer Pigeon style...

Now....who's the one should go back to school?

Ok,Ok Ben, you got us all, back to elementary

[BenVK]

Right, are we paying attention class!...(has anyone guessed that I'm really bored at work today?)...just for the hell of it, I put the skull from the first cap I posted up against 2 other known repros and 3 originals.

Now, apart from the weave of that first skull being all wrong, can you really say it's worse than the other two? In so far as shape of the head and details like the teeth I mean...

[TONY Q.W.]

Ben, you right in some instances repros and originals can be very close, many collectors have been burned by some very good copies. It was until forums like owrs that put things in order and now we can define good from bad. Studing the details is what makes the difference ...OK,ok I'm up Mr. teacher...I promise I'll not do it again
