Sorry, but it is a West German cap tricked out to look like SS.

Hi stonemint. Thanks for the info...just wondering, what gives it away as such?
-
Fabric, sweatshield, sweatband, piping, shape, stuffing, lining, stiches that secure the lining.....
-
The fact that it's West German gives it all away.
And junk insignia, I might add.
Join the Gold Club and study originals before you waste thousands of dollars.

I wonder what these were originally made for - the gray one could be a modified BW cap, but the black one? Skeleton interior (unless the lining was removed), silvery piping - perhaps funeral personnel? Could the misplaced tag be an original?

They must have put the TK on these hats Red Hot, to cause the TK scorch that they all still carry.

Wolfgang--IMO, they were made for stage/film use, and it appears that Pekuro made most of them (this one probably was a Pekuro as well).
In addition to WH examples, I have seen postwar-made Political Leader visors by Pekuro as well.
