Opinions on Waffen-SS Sidcap?

[DasEiserneKreuz]

Hey guys. I am new to the area of German uniforms and headgear, so I was wondering if I could get some opinions on this Waffen-SS sidecap. It is currently on hold for me pending payment. Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

Saw this on Collector's Guild. Seems a little pricey to me. What do you think? Worth it?

Any opinions on the sidecap??

I'm so sorry I posted within your post. I thought I had started a new thread! Sorry again. I did not mean to hijack your thread!

Dallas,

No problem buddy. I figured it was a simple mistake. I just hope somebody here can give me some insight on this SS sidecap.

That cap is 100% original, I have handled it myself and you do not have to worry about this one It is a small size though, hence the cheaper price I would imagine.

Sayle F,

Thanks for the input. May I ask why the larger sizes are so much more favorable than the smaller ones? I have noticed this to be true with helmets as well.

By the way, I believe this sidecap is a size 58. That is not that small of a size is it?

The insignia, especialy the skull seems to "sit" quite high on the cap. A possibility that they've been added at a later date prehaps? This is just an observation from the photos, a hands on inspection would be a must for a cap like this.
