I will play, here is a hat I found in an antique store for $50. I have only seen one other for sale in 8 years of collecting WW2 military on the web for sale at $8,300. It belonged to an officer and still has his name in the hat. I do not condone what the Nazi's did. I collect this for the value.

Here are my notes from my military forums

this cap is as rare as hens teeth and I would personally but an estimate on this cap between $4000 to $5000, and that would be a conservative estimate. I would suggest you get on to one of the big dealer with this one, like kai winkler et al

This cap is from the Einsatzstab Reichs Minister Rosenberg this organization would go around the occupied east and steel art or should I say liberate. You do realize that this cap is probably only the second one in existence and you were damn lucky to find it in an antique shop.

I must say if I could afford this cap I would jump on it in a second. A wonderful, exceptional beauty.

This cap is illustrated in the book In The Service Of The Reich by Angolia page 206 through to page 213. Here are a couple of shots from the book. Note the collar patches.

In terms of rarity I am pretty sure yours is right up there with a white summer Alg. SS. So how does it feel to own a Holy Grail of visor collecting?

These caps didn't come out until September 1942 at the earliest.

Rare to see leather sb's on these red-inked Schellenbergs:
