Hello, I'm far from an expert on these caps but my initial assessment is it's a good one. The skull and eagle look fine, color is right, but I'm not too familiar with the markings or stamps. take a look at this link to compare. please wait for other opinions.

My gut as well. But given the expense of these, I didn't want to steer anyone wrong

I like this one also. Clemens Wagner is known for making these type of caps. Anyone commenting on the button?

[Sensei]

The button looks good to me. Atleast from the front!

[CBH]

The button looks good, not an obvious fake anyhow.

Deemed bad on WAF by members that I would trust.

Ralph, I don't doubt the assessment on WAF but the answers given don't clarify anything for me. Is the whole cap bad ? I wonder. I'll stick to buying from high end reputable dealers and avoid the minefield.

Thanks, Al

I made an account on WAF specifically to see the commenting on this cap. I didn't learn much except it was shot down as a fake. I hope more people can chime in on this cap.

SS cap collecting really is a minefield!
