    Karl Pflaumer wearing a fine looking cap in 1934 with a mixture of older eagle and I think a Deschler TK.

    A popular combination it seems. Wouldn't have wanted to get into an arguement with this fella - Ulrich Graf, same year.

    From Wikipedia:

    Ulrich Graf was one of the very early members of the circle around Adolf Hitler. He was an amateur wrestler and a butcher's apprentice, and became Hitler's personal bodyguard from 1920 to 1923.
    He was present in the Bürgerbräukeller at the beer hall putsch, and with Rudolf Hess cleared the way to the platform for Hitler. During the march through Munich from the beer cellar, Hitler and Ludendorff and their followers were blocked by about a hundred armed police outside the Feldhernhalle. Graf stepped forward and shouted "Don't shoot! His excellency Ludendorff is coming." There was nevertheless gunfire, and fourteen Nazis and three police officers were killed. (Two supporters had been killed earlier at the War Ministry).

    Ulrich Graf, who had shielded Adolf Hitler with his body and received several bullet wounds, recovered having possibly saved Hitler's life. In 1936 he was elected to the Reichstag. In 1937 he rose to become a Oberfuhrer in Himmler's SS. On Hitler's birthday April 20, 1943 Graf became an SS Brigadefuhrer, less than three months later on his birthday July 3, 1943 Himmler gave Graf a book that he signed " Vogt Bartold: The Long Train to the East", thanking Graf for basicially saving Hitler's life, Graf survived the war dying in March 1950.

    I think the cap with the golden runes and such on the lining as we have here, or not, reflects the introduction of the series of so called "Vom RFSS befohlene Ausfuehrung" items in the latter course of 1934, which came about in the wake of the SS freeing itself from the SA as a branch of the NSDAP. The histories of the SS Verwaltungsamt in German indicate as much, especially as concerns the evolving relations of Oswald Pohl's organization and the rest of the SS and the party. But I am not entirely sure of this statement and I ask colleague d'Alquen to correct me. The requirement to mark items with all the RZM nomenclature also eventuated in late 1934 with laws to consolidate Nazi rule, whereby the "protection of party symbols and uniforms" was part of the construction of the totalitarian state in Germany. This law built on an ordinance of late 1933 which had been a decree from Hindenburg, but the formal law of late 1934 was much more encompassing. Further, it seems as if the SS established a special section in the RZM for its uniform needs around the time this kind of marking of caps emerged, the later result of which was the Kleiderkasse SS. It is also true in many early caps that the evidence is plain of their retail through the RZM.

    d'Alquen has even earlier caps in his collection made under the aegis of regional sub units of the SS in the era 1932-33, i.e. Gruppen, which corresponded to similar entities in the SA, but at a time when the SS was still a part of the SA.

    Hence, the RZM existed well before 30 January 1933, but how the party dictated that regalia was to be marked is unknown to me, if they directed it at all.

    I now know that the RFSS system started before the Roehm Putsch, and not in its wake. This document is from a week before Roehm and his fellow bully boys were liquidated.
