It has a silk cap cover versus a woolen one, and has the normal Mueller black interior with the black RZM tag. I did not make a picture of the interior.
The buttons are Assmann marked for the year 1938, I think. With the RZM SS marks, as is typical.
Since the badge fetishists are rampant, I will reveal that the cap in 1974, the date I bought it, had a fake eagle and a war time or at least a zinc Overhoff "scull," which I was recently able to replace.
The Hoheitzeichen is a Wagner and the Totenschaedel a nice Deschler, with mostly all its neusilber finish.

This cap cost USD 500 in 1974, which was, I will tell you, a ton of dough.
More pics please
My hands are too shaky from the ravages of disease and madness to take such a clear image of the inside.
This also a Jenkins cap, but the buttons are sewn on and so marked.
