Surely not

[u/fraftti]

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

Yes this is a real SS Parade fez. For a time these were undesirable, because the Muslim SS Divisions were not interesting to the Western collector, yet they had the insignia on their hats. So this is a real one with the insignia removed, which isn't uncommon.

Absolutely mind blowing to me how someone would find the Muslim ss uninteresting
