Wonderful examples of early, very rare, SS-VT schiffen. Thank you for sharing these wonderful study pieces to the Forum. It is a breath of fresh air to see genuine period pieces instead of pictures of 4th Reich garbage from some dealer's web site.

I associate myself with the above. We are tipping the scales back towards knowledge and usefulness to the commonweal here with nice things, versus the "crimped prongs" and Saint Deschler alchemy and witchcraft that irritates us all.

Our Italian associate is plainly an accomplished collector with a good eye for authentic items and the bravery to assemble an important collection. Bravo.

Thanks. Even the teaming up of a small group of polite persons can tip the balance towards reason and enlightenment versus the opposite of same that rages, fulminates, and spits sulfur and bile elsewhere.

We do need Mr. d'Alquen to tell us when the field grey version of this cap came into use, because I rather thought that the earth grey or earth brown version was introduced in 1934 on the Rw model.
The RFSS tag was used, as near as I can tell, from 1934 until about 1938 or so, or maybe 1937. However, such is a guess.
