Need opinions on Waffen SS Cap...

[dzyner]

Hi all.

I came across this SS cap and would like to get some opinions on it. I haven't purchased it yet, which is why I'm posting it here for opinions first. If you need more photos please let me know. I'm sure the owner will be happy to oblige.

FYI - the last photo below is a shot of the embossed words, ""Deutsche Industrie" in the cap's sweatband.















Thanks!

IMO skull is fake Assman type.

The skull and eagle are both fake. Can't comment on the visor itself.

Thanks everyone! The sad thing is this cap is owned by a museum and has been on display as original for years. Unbelievable!

Hat is a common Janke repro with a fantasy maker name.

I don't think you should think about ss caps. J

There are some other Janke "Formfest" visors here:
