Sorry to say that nothing good about this cap!
Plastic shield, five digit nr on rzm label.. Should be 6 digit nr. The insignia is imo fake too..
We have a thread for paying members where you would be able to see many others like this supposed allgemeine ss generals visor.

Apart from your observations that the chincords are too long (and presumably not original to that cap), the skull-badge is too high (because the centerband is too narrow which is the real problem) some more observations:
a cap for this rank in Trikot? Eskimo, Doeskin, Tuch etc. would be called for.
The velvet of the centerband is another problem - compare to originals on the forum.
The tag, as Ullergaard already mentioned, is fake - as a teacher I would give my pupils no good mark for their German. 2 mistakes in so short a text - compare to this one: https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/attac...s-hg-45a-g.jpg
I don't know whether the cap is a reproduction or was made for a completely different purpose (undertaker?), but I am afraid Ullergaard is right. F-B could have told you for sure.

Curious if this white tag looks legitimate with 5 digits. It's the right tag for an early cap, sorry for the poor quality photo

Thank you, I avoided an expensive mistake. But if the tag is fake what else can be wrong here. The cap looked right for a circa 1934-35 type in my eyes, despite the poor photo's.
