Need some advice about a SS visor

I'm looking at an SS enlisted visor for sale. It looks real but is missing the "SS" emblem on the top of the hat (inside), and it doesn't have a "RZM label" on the inside either? Do you think it's real and how much do you think it's worth? Thanks

Really bad picture but any thoughts?

A guy posted this for sale - just from a glance can you tell me anything about it? He writes that his grandfather picked it up in the war - thanks for any help. I know it would be quite hard to determine, but can you tell if it is authentic from such a shot - or at least give a guestimate?

Thanks

A very interesting foto

Here is a foto of a group of Wehrmacht soldiers relaxing near an underground bunker. It appears 3 of them are making repairs to their clothing. TAKE NOTE of the shoes the guy with the shaved head is wearing! What is up with those shoes? They look like women's shoes to me! Certainly not regulation boots. Can anybody tell me what it says on the back?

Erel Schupo Officer’s Visor

As most of you know, I am a civil visor collector, with a strong interest in the visors of the Polizei. Most police officers you see are actually EM/NCO visors with Officer's chincords, as the higher-ranked NCO's were allowed to wear them. (The give-away is the lesser-quality wool, padding, and lining, as well as the one-piece flat NCO eagle).

This is a true Officer's visor for an Officer of the Schutzpolizei (they used green Truppenfarbe). The hat is made by Robert Lubstein (Erel), and is their highest-quality class of hat, a "Privat", with the characteristic pale-green lining.

The eagle is also a true-officers, being a 2-piece model, with polished highlights. While the Kokarde is vented, there are no grommets behind either the eagle or the cockade, something usually seen on mid- to late-war caps (which this one is.)

This hat was never issued/worn, probably due to it's being a large size, approximately a 59-60:
