Many thanks for the images FB. Here's the tag from the 1978 catalogue. Definitely the style with the one ring around the runes.
Yes. Such is further evidence to my contention that the originals of these were present in the biotope in my younger years, as well as those of other members here.

All these images will accomplish is to improve fakes and snare the innocent in expensive traps.....

That's always the risk but hopefully they will also do some good.

Re: Something odd about all these SS Feldmuetzen
Back around 1964, a collector friend of mine located a pysician who was a veteran and had shipped back an enormous amount of genuine SS material, much of which was unissued. Among his items were many black, gray and earth brown early overseas caps, still baled together. My friend had bought ten of each type and there were still around another fifty still with the veteran. Only the black caps had RZM tags. The gray and earth brown had an early form embroidered patch of a political eagle on the left side. At the time, we had no idea what the gray and brown caps were as collecting was still in it's infancy without good reference material. I bought five of each type for $3.00 each, sold off all but one of each style which I kept. The veteran had uniforms, hats and at least two SS flags complete with poles! He later moved from Illinois to New York where I heard years later a lucky chap bought the balance from his estate.
