Default SS Camo Cap with Skull - Opinions

Gents,

Thoughts on this one. No markers and metal grommets are missing.

Those were the photos provided so I'll see if I can get another. I've cropped one of them.

They are not missing - they were never there...

It looks to be an Assmann style skull but fakes abound of course.

We need a clear, well lit straight-on shot of the skull. On a soft cap like this it should be very easy to see the maker's marks and pins ??

I am sorry to say but that cap is not an original IMHO.

Cheers

Just noticed: It looks like the top-sewing ends before the connection to the front panel? If so, bad sign
