Re: black SS officer's cap
Hello F-B,
Great caps! Let me preface this by saying that I'm not a cap collecter and my knowledge is limited although I do admire them and try to keep up with the posts.
Anyhow, I have a recollection, be it somewhat vague (these recurring B'days raise hell with the gray matter), of reading that there was some question as to the authenticity of these blacked lined caps. Obviously this is a generalization and for all I know is an "old wives tale" but is there any truth to this and should these black lined caps be any more suspect than the others?
Thank you,
m

The caps pictured here are, to the best of my knowledge, authentic. Caps with the black interior are faked, but the piece enclosed here is quite authentic. Officers caps in black came in two variants until the late 1930s, and we have pictured them here dozens if not hundreds of times.

Re: black SS officer's cap
Could someone let me know who the seller is? I have no interest in buying these particular caps but prehaps he also has some grey examples?

I have collected this material for well over forty years, and while I do not wish to endorse dealers etc as a rule, these items I have enclosed here are authentic in my opinion. All Nazi regalia is faked as a matter of course, so as flawed as these sites are, they still offer some remedy to the syndrome versus collector lore had at militaria meets where the level of expertise is sometimes limited. Such is also true here, to be sure, as well.

Re: black SS officer's cap
Whether I see them one or 100 times, you still gotta love 'em as these black ones are the most aesthetically pleasing! Thanks, F-B.
