URGENT INQUIRY:- Is this WW2 German Waffen S.S. officer’s peaked cap "Schellenberg maker marked" Real or Fake?

[Historical18]

Hello experts,

Please can you tell me if this : Description:-"WW2 German Waffen S.S. officer’s peaked cap.... Interior retains sweat stained silk liner, showing Schellenberg maker marked celluloid diamond and service worn grey leather sweatband, which is DRGM #14.19.504. Approx. size 57." is real or fake?

Need an answer before Sunday's Auction if possible?

Is the insignias real?
What is the maker's mark? Deschler and Sohn?

Thankyou


Thankyou

As I stated on the other forum, it is a re-banded Heer visor....

I'd suggest you join the Gold Club of this fine forum, 25$US is nothing compared to the thousands our fine Mod Stonemint just saved you.
Membership open up the Headgear section and is simply a must of the TR headgear collector.

The help you can get on this forum is indeed priceless. This is the University of WW2 artefacts. Over the years you really learn to appreciate it.

Best, Jan

Thanks for your answers.

What about the insignia? Are they real or fake? Are they worth anything?
What make are they if they are real?
Deschler and Sohn?

If real they are worth quite a bit. Doubt that they are. If someone is going to hump up a fake visor they would not put real insignia on that costs many hundreds of dollars.

That said. Take photos and create a new thread in the SS insignia section.
