WW2 Solid Silver SS Officers Visor Cap Insignia
The SS cap set was usually issued in white metal or aluminium. This set however, is made of solid silver and clearly marked 800. These silver versions were quite rare and were not issued. The egotistical SS officer proud of his membership in the ‘Elite of the Elite’ would privately purchase these items individually as they were clearly more detailed and stood out as being silver. Both items test positive for silver & have been confirmed by a local jeweller.
Both eagle and skull are RZM marked with the 800 silver designation. There were various companies that handled silver insignia this particular pieces made by Zimmerman (Skull) and Assmann (Eagle)
