I'll try, Fred. Have been busy with other things. Will try to get pics up tomorrow, no later than Saturday. I discovered the upper, forward part of the lining has been opened and re-sewn, apparently to attach or replace the skull. The replacement thread glows under black light, but nothing else does. The single button looks like the pressed paper type. I suspect this is a quality reproduction cap, or a leftover cap (possibly postwar assembled) that has had the insignia added. There is also a metal "mountain troops" device sewn next to the eagle that looks brand-new, possibly a repro. As I said earlier, the skull is a known authentic one. The eagle looks good, but I'm not sure. The eagle is BEVO and the skull is the woven type, but not the thicker cotton variety. One way or another, it looks like a "put-together" cap, but I don't want to "mess with it" until I know more about it. Thanks for the interest to you both.
