re: Early SS VT Schirmmütze
I posted both skull and insignia, whats your opinion on the hat itself, I think the hat it good insignia not, I like the look of the hat and the dealer is very well known world wide I didn't even think of pulling skull out hopefully he keeps up his reputation and takes hat back or replaces insignias, thx guys enjoy your weekend Pete

re: Early SS VT Schirmmütze
Thank you for help any opinion on the hat ? Thinking all good but the skull ?

re: Early SS VT Schirmmütze
The hat itself would need a close inspection to make sure it is not a regular Heer Schirmmuetze that has altered post war. From the photos, I would be suspicious that the black wool centre band has been added because when you look at the whole shape of the hat, there is something not quite right IMHO.

re: Early SS VT Schirmmütze
Ben Thank you for the time you extended with this ,all stitching seems to be neat and tight, the pasteboard was very tight all the way around and seemed neatly done ,there was one extra hole where the skull
Prong hole would go, this skull is marked rzm 41 which I've learned is fake 1960s, if all you mentioned checked out chances are the hat is right ? Thanks for your time Ben means a lot and I appreciate it Pete

re: Early SS VT Schirmmütze
No problem Pete.
Your best bet is to get this hat inspected by someone with experience. No offence but if you say it's original, that won't mean a lot to us. No worries if you just want to keep it but it's a different story when it comes to selling.
I only say this because an SS-VT era visor cap like this is worth what? 6 to 8 grand? that's quite a bit of money.
