Could it be that this is the first case of an original cap masquerading as a "copy" ?
I am aware that I am being a mite flippant here but this cap does look interesting.

This is a valid observation in my opinion.

This is a valid observation in my opinion.
Bob Coleman has rich experience back to the early 1950s, a time, when, what fakes existed, were dwarfed by the pile of real material.
At the risk of goring more than one ox, especially grey SS peaked caps are a contested and conflicted area, where the absence of a chance to examine something in hand with time and reflection
leads to more than one false positive; that is, I do think that many authentic caps that somehow diverge from collector dogma are, in turn, damned with group think.
I cannot generalize about this cap here, but I have seen essentially mint, authentic grey SS caps in West Germany of the final Helmut Schmidt era stripped of insignia for EIGHTY DOLLARS in the 1980s that were completely real. I was not collecting at the time, but such things have existed.

A 1950s fake to which Bob can attest, the Erich Beinhorn fake black SS officer's cap, which predated the Br. Beuer and or Atwood caps, and was superior in quality, but a 1950s cap.

Hello,
Thank you for your opinions. It's an interesting cap indeed.
Kind regards,
