From your images, this appears to be one of the many examples picked up by U S 45th Division soldiers at Dachau.

Thanks Bob, I am not familiar with this type of wear but I fancy this one, if I may ask, seller asks for 1100 Euros, is that a price in your opinion that goes in line?, thanks, Juan

Unfortunately, I no longer keep up on prices so I can not help you with that. I am sure another member can help you with this. For years, the maroon fez was plentiful and sold for between $500-$600. That was until the fakers realize3d the insignia was worth more than that and many were bought up, the badges placed on fake hats and the stripped fezes were for sale all over the place. Make sure the insignia is machine sewn and does not show any signs of having been previously mounted, removed and rebadged.

Thanks Bob, appreciate that, from the pictures, can you tell that this fez is good and the badges are both original?
