It is for sale on the bad behavior, paranoia and jealousy site.

I am not going to buy it, as I am in bustitude, but someone should give it a good home.
This kind of hat is more rare than the later variant, and of higher quality before the things were cheapened.
I have no interest of a commercial nature in this item; I do not know the seller; and I do not like the venue in which it is being sold.
The cap, however, can account for none of my outstanding prejudices, can it?

Beautiful cap. You ought to buy it at some point as it would look great with the rest of your hats!

As long as it's not going to sell within a few hours, of course. I don't know how quickly these go.

Thank you. While I am a bona fide hoarder, I have enough of these, actually.

...besides the savants and high rollers and near greats on the maroon site have proclaimed that the militaria market has collapsed like the great tulip speculation of yore, and all of these things are now nothing more than Klamotten and Troedel and Tandl like they always really have been.....voellig wertlos!

[ObKrieger]

Is it the foetidness you like, or the black?

[Friedrich-Berthold]

My friend, you pose a false dichotomy. One aspect can never be separate from the other, of course. It is a dialectic.
