Later SS schirmmutze

[alexander11]

Dear members, intrigue has got the better of me. A guy I came across paid £1,500 for this at auction. I worry for him because to me it looks likely museum quality reproduction. And also where he bought it previously sold me a badge which turned out to be repro. Also the price is a good indicator, much lower than you’d expect. Would appreciate your thoughts about what this one actually is, thanks.

This is a repro cap - the tag ("U 4" - very funny!), the serial numbers on the sweatband, the cork, the sweatshield, the bill etc. etc. - the guy paid at least 1450,- too much. (Unless the insignia are original which I doubt.)

yes, the badges are also fake.
the skull is a rzm 41.
I suppose that the eagle is a pair marked with rzm 41 too, the detail of the images does not help much to specify.
