Price is $1000, owner states that it's original, but i don't know, can anyone help and let me know if it's real or fake, and what should i look for to spot the fake one.

Thank you all.

A comparison for your consideration and reflection.

We have also richly equipped this site with many fine originals.

We salute you for spelling "Allgemeine" correctly.

Sorry, it is just a common ebay repro. See F-B's numerous threads on the topic (better yet, just read everything he has posted, and you will be 1/2 there....)

The dynamics of the internet are such that a long time spent reading is seen by many as a kind of 20th century thing.

The time needed to read same, however, is considerably less than the time I expended in writing these, to say nothing of the decades of experience (however flawed and denigrated by most...) that these posts might distill.

But I enjoin others to share what they know, too, as I have no monopoly on knowledge and am acutely aware of all the unanswered questions and the many "unknown unknowns" as celebrated by Herman Kahn.

Herman Kahn, by the way. He did not wear an SS cap, of course. Nor did he strike a very contemporary figure (i.e. the year 2010) as concerns present day aesthetics, plainly.
Sometimes we have to diverge from our narrow focus, don't we?
He was very 20th century, as am I.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

Here are some authentic SS caps, actually. I have shown these two dozen times, even before I realized the one I sold is now very famous, indeed, and now coveted by others who send notes to me.

I do not want to push things too far in the wrong direction, of course.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

Button, button, who has the button?

The cap badges, do they match?

Notice Reichsparteitag regalia. I got it for cheap.

Thanks, colleague, but let us not overstate things here to the detriment of the cohort. I simply have some old, silly hats.
It is also true that I have not photographed them for several years and there are some I have never shown, either.
