This is a very rare Swedish SA man cap from 1938-45
(NSAP.the larges swedish nazi party)
The Swedish SA was simular to the German SA.
Militaria and WW2 history forum and topsites. Sõja ajaloo portaal.
The first one on top is dated Jan. 1940. and has a LK5 stamped in the stock. This stamp, and other similar stamps only with numbers LK 7 & 9 are found on a number of rifles from various countries the Germans either occupied or fought. So it is a German applied stamp most likey identifying the rifles as ok for German service.
The 2nd one is dated May 1939, the barrel is dated 1938.
The 3rd one is called a Mystery rifle as it has no markings except the main MAS 36 stamp and a three number serial number stamped only on the receiver and bolt. It has a 1940 dated barrel. No-one knows exactly when it was made as the arsenal documents have not been found and were either destroyed or lost. Opinion is that it was made just after the Germans took over and possible put together with parts that remained at the arsenal for either the French Reistance or for the French Vichy Government after the Germans closed down the arsenal.

If it is original what sort of $ might it be worth?

OK, I have read up a bit on this one, and whilst there briefly was an SS Fallschirmjager unit nobody seems to know whether they were issued their own cuff title. It is in a job lot of other stuff that I will post on when I get some better pics, but thought I would start the ball rolling on this first.
