Luftwaffe officers visor. OPINION PLEASE ???

[cyclids5]

http://be.fotoalbum.eu/cyclids5Hello everyone,
i am planning to buy this LW officers visor cap. I would like to know the thoughts or opinions from other LW collectors or experts?
Original or fake or an early rebuild bundeswehr cap?????
Is the downside from the visor strange or not?
Thank you for any help. Kind regards.

Welcome to the forum

All the best

I'm not a fan. Piping looks funky. Eagle looks like an original Erel but out of place here along with the poorly applied cockade/wings.

Just my initial opinions though I am not an expert on the cloth headgear.

What do you mean with "piping looks funky"?
The kokade and eagle are attached with large stitches on the inside of the visor. You can see this at the pictures, and this is the correct way like it should be. I personel believe it is a good cap, the only thing that bodders me a little is the downside of the visor. Normaly LW caps have green coloured visors with a wafer pattern. However i have seen good ones also with a black colour at the downside. But this surface at the lowerside is a little strange for me.
Kind regards.

Many luft visors have totally black visor, more than we think ..
To me the cap doesn't look too bad ..

First you state:

Then when Adam offers his opinion, you state:

I never understand those who solicit opinions, then tell those who are kind enough to give their opinions why they are wrong.

I do not say he is wrong !!!!
I just ask why he thinks some details are wrong.
How should they be instead.

I have 2 LW officer visors, both have the black visor.

Looks like a standard late war Schellenburg with typical Schellenburg sweatband to me. Jacques
