Here's a photo that may be of the era this cap is from, in 1946.
I always liked the girl at the end trying not to laugh.

I got this off an old post here.

Thanks Glenn. Doesn't compare to yours! I have more stuff, I just need to take the time to put it together for pictures. It took hours to do the the first few posts.

It's been a pleasure, much to my wife's dismay.

yeah, the beret is my all time favorite! A gift from my best friend. His grandfather brought it back from the war.

Here's a salty W-SS tunic I just got , I left the collar open because its too small for this torso.
Thanks.
Dean.

Here's some more..

The collar tabs are pretty salty. The rune tab is machine sewn and appears legit. The rank tab matches but is hand sewn. The button holes are field repairs and the last one is moved. Some rips and hole throughout the tunic. The wool is rough feeling.

It's heavily soiled and stained with sweat, rust spots and possibly a bit of blood.dont worry fellas, ill be taking better photos with a better camera.
