Another "grey area" black cap

Here's another example for sale of an Officers cap that has me sitting on the fence. Eagle could be fine but the skull looks to be one of the 360 series fakes.

Actualy, I think the eagle is a stinker too.

I have never been fond of the trikot black SS officer vosor hats. I suppose they could have been made by private makers, but I prefer the smooth wool, as usually seen.

Insignia is also not original, on this example.

At the risk of being a stinker, this cap here of mine has a trikot cap cover. The officer caps tend to have a doe skin or melton cap cover, but surely caps with a trikot cover (usually of superior quality to the enlisted variety) exist.

This cap of mine was made by Isken in Cologne, A1 59

The insignia on Ben's cap are lousy.

Here is another cap (on the right, closest to camera) with a Trikot cover, a Clemens Wagner cap that came from the Barrandov Kostumfundus in Praha. The cap badges have been replaced.
