Gruppenführer Schaftmütze

[Symtemesc]

Diese SA Schaftmütze für Gruppenführer wird in einer Auktion angeboten, meines Erachtens kann sie aber kein original sein, da die Tresse erst eingeführt wurde, als die Gruppenfarben am Mützenkörper schon längst Standard waren. Gibt es hier aber vielleicht noch anderen Meinungen dazu?

You are correct, it's not original
