Thanks Brad,
You have always been very helpful.
again, I was not trying to stir the pot here, (or more appropriately 'kick the hornets nest') nor do I condone the name calling that goes on. This is obviously a touchy subject.
In all my years of serious collecting, I have only had a few SS cap pieces turn up from vets, and they have been ones on the list. It does surprise me though that so much insignia over a fairly long time frame was made by only a few manufacturers, as compared to say SS daggers. And I don't understand why they would make "SS #" markings on eagles but not on skulls, but I am still a student of all of this, so my mind is open.
