It's easy ;-) Does the hat size match? The head/hat looks like it should be a 59 or 60, or more? If the hat is a 56...
Damn, FB beat me to this!

More photos and info coming early next week. Stay tuned!
sam--is this from the same source as the gray-top SS Officer visor you posted?
Tell the seller to use something other than a 5 megapixel camera from 2005--would help a lot.
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
In view of the demonstrated fact that I am a scold, if you do become serious about the cap, I would not make any decision unless you can get Boehme's record with
his measurements. It sounds silly, but it is not. If the cap really is Boehme's, which I highly doubt, it is significant. If you want a well known cap of this type, by
the way, which was once my property, Bruce Herman has one for sale. It is undoubtedly real. This cap could be: a.) a fake, which I wonder about, because the RZM tag looks alright to me, as does the interior; b.) a tarted up cap with the war criminal's name; or c.) Boehme's cap, in which case you would have something.
The pictures are not at all helpful and take a lot of time from us likes.
PS all of which goes to show that you need your wits and patience to collect these things.
I am happy to help. Your interlocutor really does need a better camera, in fact.
And, he also needs to offer you some useful provenance with the black cap, granted the Boehme association, which I still cannot believe.
I could tell if I had the thing in my hand, because I have a lot of experience with German handwriting and various examples.
