Rear detail

Reproduction metal cap skull worn by the WS. Although normally associated with visor caps, these were also occasionally worn on overseas, camo and M43 caps. Maker marked "RZM M1/52" on the back. This is an original maker code for Deschler & Sohn in Munich. ("52" is NOT the year)

Note: Although many enthusiasts prefer the "antiqued" insignia, originals look more like these- they were colored either by silver plating or a silver wash (paint).

These have two pins on the back- to install, first poke two holes in the cap with an awl or similar tool, slide the pins through and then bend them over to secure the eagle.
Do NOT attempt to push the pins through the cap fabric! They are not sturdy enough and will break.
