    early black SS peaked cap: a study in contrasts.What is amusing is that the thing is made of a mixture of real and amended parts, the most striking of which is the addition of the gold leaf runic to the lining of a real cap. This must have been done by hand...!

    Robert, you and I have advantages that others do not, for there must be a large population of naive persons who are trapped by these things, not the least because of our pictures.
    Engstirnigkeit is likely a sin of which I am guilty, actually.
    The chap with the bozo black uniform on the other site, which I also posted, does not seem to grasp facts.....

    Price is not always the determining factor. Competent knowledge of the various shapes found in the progression of the cap, the insignia that would go with that shape and what proper construction is. With this knowledge, any student would see all of the faults of this cap.
