I love this piece! I thought I would bring this thread back to the top and see if there is any update to see if the cap has surfaced or is lost to time.

All of this regalia likely got blown to bits and or thrown away a couple of years later. Or went with the cast off equipment into a bog somewhere.
Ben VK had a very attractive field cap of some note a while back.
A US collector also acquired one recently or in the past two years and posted it on another site. It had conventional insignia.
I think most collectors of SS hats would aspire to owning, one day, the Alter Art Feldmutze with the wool covered schirm. I can't say for certain if this example on the left has a beret or arm eagle but it's a wonderful image none the less.
My apologises as I go off on a tangent and post photos of one of my favourite designs of Third Reich cap!

Weitze has got one of these for sale at the moment. POA of course though. That really drives me nuts.
Some more pictures of caps in wear. All from the Bundes archive if thats allowed.
The gentleman in Budapest seems agrieved about someone elses choice of headgear.
