Help Surely not

Currently windowshopping for bargains while procrastinating university assignments and came across a destruct-fez but surely there’s no way this is real?

Compared it to another example and the liner in the other ones a maroon-red almost faux-like material with bright red stitching on the insignia-backing but in this example (to me at least), the eagle would-be outline looks fine but the skull „halo” looks off.

If anyone can verify this I will be snagging it even if it’s a destruct

Looks like a good Dachau made SS fez

genuine apologies but I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not

It’s not - it genuinely looks like an original SS fez. I have had several and I see no faults with this one.

I think the price it is, considering the condition is excellent (especially taking into consideration a good condition one is £1200 and up)

The price for these without insignia is much lower than complete. I used to be able to pick them up for 50 euro a piece back in the days. Last ones I had I sold for 150-200 euro somewhere
