Hello folks! Found this amongst a larger lot of various "stuff". Stripped, unfortunately, of its insignia, however, my question is that of originality? Does this appear to be a period piece in this configuration? Deep maroon wool, black tassel w/ short red woolen "base", leather sweatband, machine stitched to the inner circumference, only a size "58" stamp, otherwise, void of markings. You can clearly see the outline of the black thread on the exterior where the eagle and Totenkopf USED to be, however on the inside the same outline appears in lighter, RED thread. Any feedback would be appreciated. Some photos below. Thank you.

Hi!
Absolutely 100% original for sure! Same as mine, found 20 years ago between the red cross collect…
Sleep smooth dream on it!

Wow, that was fast! Thank you. I actually had one come to me at a local flea market many years ago, a field gray version. This is probably the first one I've had since then. If it's period, off to the E-stand it goes! Hopefully someone can restore it w/ a set of original insignia.Comment

I have a similar one, also stripped, with red thread inside and black thread remnants on the outside.
