hi guys, from my late Grandfather collection. Please let me know if its real and value if possible.
Your cap is a common 1960s fake with an added RZM tag filled with stamps that are deeply in error. These caps were contracted by an ex US Army intelligence officer who did or did not join the CIA and who invented
the "parts dagger" from the left over treasures of the early FRG and who, in turn, had these caps imported by break bulk cargo....along with the VW Beetle and cuckoo clocks.
They are fake.
We have real caps here on this thread, so kindly look at this thread for a comparison. I have collected these caps for more than forty plus years, and have put the fruits of my confused and expensive quest
into the nooks and crannies of this site.
Sorry.
Allgemeine SS Visor Cap
Value is about $75.

These caps were unveiled in the 1969 work of the renowned "Freiherr von Mollendorff" the original nemesis of the faker, a work that appeared impossibly long ago.
The first work to analyze the original cap appeared in the same year via David Delich. David Delich shares his
collection here, which is very generous of him.
Thank you very much, is there anybody who can look at collection and separate, real from fake, i have about 70 pictures made of whole stuff and can provide Dropbox link
Sorry to tell you something so unpleasant, but we work on this odd pile each day.by twism94
If you post things in the right places here, you will get sound advice. Our stalwarts are the best in the business.
The hobby will be the poorer when folk like FB eventually go the way of all flesh.
The cap looked good to me ... :-)
