Article about: I was told that this was an SA-Marine cap from the 1930s. Is this the real deal or is it something else? I will really appreciate any help. Thanks
This is a Prinz Heinrich Muetze, made famous by the brother of William II, and is not in any way associated with the SA. It existed before the SA, and it has existed ever since the SA vanished.
This cap has no resemblance to a 1st or 2nd pattern S A Marine schirmutze. The shape and materials are incorrect. The band of the cap resembles a DAF festival cap but the form is incorrect. Not a piece worth adding to a collection of S A material. Here is an example of a 2nd pattern cap.
