Luftwaffe White Summer Visor I'm Unfamiliar With

[R.Beck]

Hi Guys

This variation stumps me because I have never seen a large plastic shield in front to keep the peak high. I should also note that the eagle isn't the metal backing type but rather simply sewn on. Does anyone have one I could compare it to? Thanks in advance

I never had a cap with a shield like this in my hands but from the pictures it looks good.
Is it plastic or celleon?

More of a thicker plastic. Weird. Everything seems dead on which is why I'm rather miffed by this. No question that it addresses the problem of keeping a stiff peak

Absolutely ! I just ran off to work but I'll put up some more pics in the am. This also has the vent hole which I assume will make this a triple Erel?

I think the shield is original but the white cover could be is missing.

Hmmm, interesting but I should note that the detachable cover has the Erel cel shield affixed to the underside.

It is plastic, and is 100% original and correct. Please see this thread:

(C'mon guys, I don't start these threads for my own edification!)
