It is indeed a late-war Schellenberg. The pictures have been manipulated in order to hide the mothdamages to piping and crown - if you take a close look you can see the manipulations.

Thanks ErWeSa for your answer.
I have manipulated the photos, due to I don´t want to have problems with the photo license from the seller, by this reason I have remove the name.
I have added another photo in the first post where you can see the piping with the small damage.

I see! At first I thought somebody wanted to pull your leg by manipulating the pics and hiding severe damge. If it's nothing but a few moth bites and you don't mind these you have a nice, original, late-war Schellenberg-cap.
-
As you well says, I don´t mind these small bites, so I think I´ll buy it. Thanks a lot.

The very late-war caps often had bills made of pressed paper which was then laquered or very thin vulkafiber ones. The sweatband isn't synthetic it is a kind of leatherette - i. e. fabric covered by some coating. For reshaping, see here:
Reshaping a Visor
The metal spring in the crown seems to have slipped out of place. You could fix that if it is still flexible (i. e. hasn't corroded).

the moth's gave it the OK!. they juried it.

Thanks ErWeSa for your comment, now I can be sure that the cap is 100% original.
I´ll try to resahping the visor.
