Thanks!

Looks good to me, at least the insignia is Ok for sure and the cap looks original from the pics. I would say this cap would go for between $1300 to $1500 .But hey others might disagree

Thanks Sayle!
I am just so paranoid these days and I don't know cloth super well. However, this came in on a hotel buy from a friend a couple weeks back.
Thanks!

A good original cap in my opinion. Not 100% sure about the stitching on the insignia, (although they are real) as it looks a little crude.


Cheers, Ade.

Thanks guys!

Now I am sure it is OK. My biggest fear was it was a collector walk in on this hotel buy a friend did. The buyer had absolutely no idea what it was worth and bought it for nothing. In fact I am famous for overpaying for everything except this time. The insignia are worth more than I paid, he gave me the price. The price alone made me nervous since it was so cheap!

Thanks!

Nice cap!

Hi Bob,

This seems to be a really nice one and imo 100%..therefore also my question: is it for sale (or trade with good stuff)? Please send me a PM, okay?

Best regards,

Coco

Well,

I don’t like to sound extremely commercial but this one will end up on my web site. I am considering putting it in my collection but I guess it would be better there.

The address is www.collectortocollectormilitaria.com

Best Wishes,

Bob

PS- It looks like I will have 3 or 4 totally original un messed with SS helmets on the next list as well!
