It was originally in excess of ten thousand dollars.

It is not the "textbook," it is the pattern piece, the Probemuetze from Mueller in Muenchen for the Sonderanfertigung cap.
The word "textbook" is misleading and no where appears in the regulations of the time.
Thanks FB for your reply. For this bunch of money I wouldn't have bought the piece. With "textbook" of the textbook I meant the german term Mustermütze. Sorry for my bad english.

I thought I saw the new price, and it was very inexpensive I thought, for what the piece is.
My first black cap in 1971 was a Mueller Sonderanfertigung, but not of this exact date.
Bravo and happy collecting. The experience should be pleasant, unlike the blood letting that is so often the norm.
I am having only head aches with collectors and dealers, and it is a waste of time.
There are even Probes of the SS Statistical year book , in my collection I have one .
I discovered this Probst SSTKV cuff band in a Dachau hoard taken bv a GI when Dachau was over run (I was told is was Dachau by the son of the GI.)
This was found via the sons newspaper advertisement in Honolulu back in the mid to late 1990's. The item no longer is in my possession and I do not wish to share who owns this at this time.
There were a dozen other SS cuff titles I was able to obtain and one was an officers Elbe which is definitely one of the more difficult cuff titles to find. Additionally there were Officers grade LAH, Deutschland, EM/NCO Theodore Eicke amongst others. And one of the most well made M43 bullion SS eagles, the best I'd ever seen. These all were taken by the GI whose son ended up with them. I ended up selling everything to help finance my sons education & he is now a Lt. Col. USAF
ADDENDUM - I posted the images some years back on the WA forum, in private message Jim Toncar asked me to remove the image of (his) cuff title...but here it is and without any complaint. This addendum explains how this ended up getting posted. The images were taken with a 35 MM camera and the original images rest in my display case. The single image posted by Jim is one he apparently took. On purpose I did not post the back of the cuff title, full well realizing what the copy cats actions could potentially be.

Just for coming back to the Roots of this Thread, here are some RZM Siegelprobe Collar Tabs of NSDAP Gauleitung from my Collection. A Pair of Oberarbeitsleiter and Obereinsatzleiter.
Best Regards, the Sammler ...
