re: Waffen SS Officers Schirmmütze: real or fake?
Please note that NVA is Nationale Volksarmee der DDR, i.e. East German military. For those less informed about the past, the GDR was around more or less from 1949 until 1990 or so. The NVA in the strict sense from 1956 until 1990, though its predecessor entity got going earlier. If you look on this site, you will find more images of authentic SS caps than anywhere else in the entire, complete, total, and I mean, great big world wide web, as in no place else.....
Some of us have bust our a##es to do so, and we do not even charge an entry fee.

re: Waffen SS Officers Schirmmütze: real or fake?
Thank you. Luckily I bought it for a pretty low price, which is when I knew right away it probably isn't authentic. I'm not a hardcore collector either, as I don't have a lot of money. But I am just starting out. What bothers me most is not the fact that is fake, its that it is so tiny.

As FB said,you really have to know your onions with these caps, its a complete minefield on SS regalia and clothing and even good collectors can get caught out, i really do hope you didnt pay too much for this as they are pretty common caps here and cost about £10-15 at the most

Thanks, dear colleague, and how true. The early NVA material, which I have actually never really seen, has a certain poetry to it, i.e. from the 1950s.
There are also nice books on same done either by the NVA itself, or by successor persons of very high quality.
The SS thing is really a hall of mirrors in the fun house nowadays, and I am not sure that the internet is of much help, in fact.
