hello, i found this ss black wool trapezoid today in a local knockers bag for £2, as some of you recall im new to this sort of collecting and dont know a lot, i like to know if this might be a real one or not, but i have the feeling it is not, when i got it it was stuck to some black paper like from a photoalbum, there is no uv light glow (read somewhere this is a thing to test and i have a money tester here) and it looks a bit eaten from moths, many thanks in advance

Not sure if it is real or not....

I just find the skull a bit funny looking!

This design of trapezoid is commonly called the Pirate for obvious reasons and are seen on Dachau made fieldcaps.
Unfortunately, I'm certain this one is a reproduction.

A pair of originals to compare with.
