Nice private purchase cap. I suppose it originally belonged to an EM/NCO due to the "Geprüft" stamp (officers' caps didn't have these) in the sweatBAND (the sweatshield is the zellophane/celluloid trapezoid sewn to the top panel). Perhaps the owner became an officer and upgraded the cap.
The fabric is indeed the higher quality eskimo/doeskin version (I never can distinguish these materials, they are very close to each other).
I sure have already seen this Sonderklasse logo, I just can't remember whether the maker is already known. I have a suspicion that it might be a Schellenberg.

A great shape to this visor. And a nice fine material. Looks like doeskin. I too have a hard time telling the difference between doeskin and eskimo wool. But the Eskimo has a shorter nap according to Wilkins.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Shemp, congrats on a fine acquisition. Hat is a prewar Schellenberg, w/ a rare distributor mark.....
