The Hayes cap is the normal model of officer's cap, that is, a non Sonderanfertigung cap.

Re: The textbook black SS officer's cap for sale
To be very frank, I do not know the prices at which these things truly change hands....
I merely offer these images to the collector world as a foot note, and likely a meaningless one.
However, there is much excitement that attends items in published works, and I have no interest in same.
This intervention is not intended to unleash a flood of damnation about dealers, prices, or whatever.
I acquired a cap identical to the Hayes one in 1978 for about eight hundred dollars and sold it three years later. It, too, was 56 cms. and still had the tissue in it....

Thanks for posting this excellent cap. The prices on these items certainly baffle the gray cells of those of us who have collected for many years. I purchased my first black officer cap in the mid 60's for $75.00. It was quite similar and named to a Dr. Muller.

Re: The textbook black SS officer's cap for sale
I can't help but agree with Bob. I remember back then, when it was crazy money to pay $300 for a black SS hat. I, too, picked one up from a vet at a flea market about the same time for $125 and grumbled about the price for some time after! As the old saying goes: If we only knew then what we know now.... Having said that, I think I'll have to pass on this one...lol William
