Allgemeine-SS Schirmmütze

[Milan Gard]

Congratulations. The zinc insignia are likely not original, but the cap is, surely. I recall when this piece appeared on the German daggers site.
These things somehow return to central Europe. It is fitting, I think.

Hello Friedrich

you think that this two insignias are fakes?

Here are close-up pictures.

Dear Colleague, I personally do not think these insignia or yours are fake. They are of the wartime type, and have lost all their matte silver paint. I maybe wrong, as I do not look closely at insignia of this particular type. Also, I cannot see certain things that others assert to see. I enclose an image of generally how organic insignia, that is, original to the cap and era often look. See enclosed. The type below have a silver content wash on cupal or buntmetall or whatever alloy or metal. Yours are feinzink. I would not exclude them from your cap in the period say from 1936 til 1940.

If you ever find the set with the bright finish, you might improve same. However, as I wrote to you earlier, we are all looking for the sets of insignia with the appropriate finish.

Yes thanks for info, I know that this insignias are not better for this visor, but I have now only this. It looks better, only for display

It is fine and congratulations. Best greetings to Czechia. On this day in 1968 came the Warsaw Pact. I remember it well.

Best wishes for your collecting.

Thank You

and I wish same for every good collectors
