    schwarze SS Muetze, pre end of 1934 or not.This cap was in a British collection early in the last decade; it then went to the Robert Wilson collection (the late noted collector who made the book); then Shea bought it; then I bought it.
    I was told long ago by a here-not-unknown-person (nameless) that this cap was a fake. An obvious attempt by such a personage to throw me off the scent. Did not work.
    Some fake.
    It is yet another example of the superior manufacture of early SS caps, by this A2 artisan cap maker in Mannheim. Elsewhere there are images of an early HJ cap by this same maker
    which I will include at some point if I can reconstruct it.

    This is an exceptionally well made cap. Whether it was the property of an infamous E. Zill, who in 1934 served as an officer in the KL Lichtenburg (not any where near Mannheim), I rather doubt.
    What I do not doubt is the thing's origin in the 1933-1934 era, since I now own several of these caps and can compare them with some care.
    It is identical, more or less, to an officer's cap in quality, without the velvet band.
    It has a wonderful patina which the pictures do not show. I am used to the smell and feel of eighty year old wool, and this has such touch and smell.

    Dear Sir, thanks. It is a beautifully made cap, better than the others. The pre 1935/6 caps are generally better made, and this one was from a small firm, as you can see, which, actually was a regional
    firm with multiple shops. It is, most important, from the US zone, which is why it likely survived.
    If you are patient, I will de accession all of this in a while--though I cannot imagine how-- and you can then take good care of it.
    In the meantime, I share the images with you for your pleasure.

    sincere best wishes, FB

    Dear Sir, the real pleasure is to share with other like minded, intelligent persons this material relevant to our collective interest. We do so at a time when the importance of these remnants of the past is only growing. This year 2014 shows that so much of this is only more pressing and significant.
    my thanks to you, FB

    Our very own Wim Saris has this to say about the Fa. Zeumer in the III. Reich.

    ".....L.R. Zeumer from Mannheim had he RZM-permission A2/294. It was a cap manufacturer, who made much caps by
    handwork. They were noted in the RZM handbook and must have had its permission to manufacturer for the NSDAP-
    organization at least in 1934. Since July 18, 1936 the concern was owned by Arthur Zeumer. As far as known their
    permission lasted at least until the end of 1944...." Source: H.J. Forum.
