black SS Führer overseas cap

[casey76]

I have the chance to buy this very rare black overseas cap of a SS Führer.
I find nothing to compare on dealer sites and I have no idea about an actual value.
Please write a pm to me if somebody can help with this question
Thanks a lot!
The cap was lying with some other parts in this carton...What is it? It is a delivery carton for the cap?

Some more photos of the cap would help, but so far I don´t like it. How large is the box? Not for the cap though. IMO.

I believe the box was for shoes.

M40 caps were introduced in November 1940
the box is marked 1938

The insignia looks to be original. More and better photos are needed.

The cap itself looks blue on that photo

The cap itself looks blue on that photo

It is most likely because of the so-called "color temperature" setting which camera (usualy in auto mode) set too high, which resulted in the over-bluish hue of the entire picture (see white too). Lack of false piping is what concers me, though it is not a 100% rule.

Er, everything looks blue in the photos - color balance setting problem.

The box is for shoes. The "Salamander" shoe factory is located in the small town of Kornwestheim which lies between Ludwigsburg & Stuttgart.

I was stationed there and one of my close German friends family owns the "Salamander" shoe shop in town.
