Real, repro, or fake? Could this be of a cache? Correct me if I’m wrong, but the feldpost number seems to trace back to an SS Adolf Hitler propaganda unit.

Thanks.

Looks like a Real German Army (not SS) pith helmet, but the felt ones never made it to Africa, they were mainly used in Italy. The feldpost stamp looks like a post war addition.  You see the square edge markings of a rubber stamp, while real German stamps were circular (and metal).  Also putting a feldpost stamp on a hat or helmet would make no sense.

Great, sort of what I was thinking.
