Is this SS schirmutze real?

Were the RZM tags stitched on SS visors? It looks real but I really don't know. Looking for some help! Thanks

Sorry to disappoint, but your cap is a zinger of a fake.

Please compare attached images....

The tags were stitched in place by hand, most times.

Attached here is an authentic senior ranks cap....

one of very, very, very few real ones on the planet Earth.....

I do want to delve too deeply into details, but the SS membership number on the first piece posted here is a real zinger, too.

It is good that many fakers are total idiots.

But happy head wear all the same....

Thanks FB and crew...I thought that the RZM tag and hat just didn't look right. The guy trying to sell me the visor (it's listed on Manions) says I "just don't want to believe, and unless I can get on a time machine I won't find anything more genuine"........Sooner or later with some help from you guys I'll find a real one.....thanks
