Guys,
I have a lot of experience in WH items, but I'm still green at SS.
Are these two items OK?
Cheers

Look forward to hearing the opinions about that visor.

You might ask yourself, in analyzing these images, why the field grey portions of said peaked cap are damaged, whereas the black Muetzenband looks undamaged and shows little or no wear...?

Because this was WH cap, made to look like a SS cap?

And what about the fieldcap?

Yes, indeed.

as to the field cap, I will leave that to others.

Here is an authentic NCO enlisted cap in field grey.

Also, if you look at the paste board band (the foundation of the cap...) the Muetzensteg seems to have been redone, removed, or otherwise violated....which is a pretty incriminating sign of reupholstery.

A tale told many times, to be sure....

Grey SS peaked caps for the NCO and other ranks are rare, and we have many nice images of such items here.
