You need to get photos with the sweatband flipped up ("under the hood").
Be advised that there are hats that are difficult to authenticate from photos alone, and this may be one of them.

This one is hard as my bud Tim is in Texas and knows less about SS Visors than I. I have encouraged him to ask for or acquire more pictures from under the hood of the sweatband. I concur with you both that having it to inspect in person is very important. Appreciate you both opining on a weekend. Thanks for all you both do along with many to help our collecting community. Worst case I get Tim to join the forum!!! Funny as he will laugh if he heard this. He so tight he can't shell out a few bucks a year to be among collectors and experts but is willing to pay $5K for a SS Visor. I need to wrastle that boy to the ground at times.

SS regalia is expensive and controversial.

The true identification of this hat would be a gray SS hat. Although the Waffen SS would have worn the majority of these, all other branches of the SS had and some wore the gray uniform. I agree this is a tough one to make a call on. From the pictures, my initial reaction was no.

Well based on being advised by many on this one here & there I spoke to Tim in Houston. He is passing on it. We discussed some concerns about overall fabric look and material. We also discussed as well holding out for a better example. I told him he seemed anxious about it. In talking I said if your all churned up you need to pull back the reigns and chill on it. No collector purchase has ever went well under impulsive or rash movements. Appreciate the forum members for their opinions and assistance. Tim said thanks as well. I told him that real thanks comes in the form of a "WRF Gold Membership". Maybe we will see the Texan here soon?

It would nice see him join here as a Gold Member as we saved him many times the funds he would have spent on this cap.
