Absolutely awesome!

These are hard to find so I can’t imagine how hard it is in Germany.   Im sure they bring a lot of money in Germany if you could find one there.   Is there a tariff?  

Found this in the book

This is an early belt buckle from the Wehrmacht Army, made of aluminum (later versions were made of iron) and still featuring a leather tab (later omitted), which bears the manufacturer's stamp. The belt strap also retains its corresponding aluminum belt hook. The aluminum components were originally painted olive green. The buckle and belt strap constitute a matching set.   This is a cap associated with the NS-Reichskriegerbund Kyffhäuser. The fabric is very coarse—a characteristic often observed in reproductions. Typically, these caps feature a printed trapezoidal label sewn inside—displaying the large Kyffhäuser logo and the manufacturer's details—as well as a small white, printed fabric label from the Reichskriegerbund sewn onto the sweatband. Both of these elements are missing here; furthermore, the underside of the visor lacks the distinctive "waffle-pattern" texture typical of the era. I find it highly improbable that a cap with an inverted cap band would have been officially sold during the Third Reich by a licensed manufacturer! This is extremely peculiar. The wreath and cockade appear to be original; however, the Reichskriegerbund eagle—featuring the black Iron Cross—is missing from its position above them. Additionally, while the split-pin buttons for the chin strap are present, the strap itself is missing. This may well be a post-war "put-together" piece, assembled using a combination of original Third Reich components and later parts. It is worth noting that caps of this type continued to be manufactured and modified for veterans in the post-war period—albeit without the swastika, featuring instead the Iron Cross and a different style of cap wreath.

Found this one for cheap at a trift store. First one I've found at a trift store that wasn't stripped. Also had a bonus in the pocket.

More photos 

I got this today from a buddy who just collects German.  He got it from a U.S. Airborne Collector near Kansas City, who was selling his collection.  It came with the book & Medic Arm Band.  The collector tucked the arm band under the net to keep everything together.  It obvious that helmet was repainted at some point.  If they were going to fake the Captain Bars and stripe, I would think that they would fake the 325 unit marking.  There is no attempt to age the paint.  The name written looks 100% legit.   I will post photos and take more if requested.     

Tell me otherwise, but is the one pictured made of light weight white wool?  The two that I have are both made of cotton

Hi :)   I already posted this jacket in the "Real or What" section and had some say, that 300 USD is too much for a first pattern and others, that it is a good price... What are your thoughts on this? The seller now got back to me offering 300 USD shipped. Keep in mind, I live in Germany, so there aren't that many first patterns around these waters... Thank you in advance :))   Jules

Outstanding finds. Congrats to you!
