I saw these as well, on Ebay Germany. Just a quick glance at the Kurassier cap, for example, tells you it's bad; it's missing the lower piping.
Dumbkopfs!

Bob, they still bid (and bid high) even with such an obvious flaw.

He is taking apart Imperial civi visors and using new wool (with poor aging) for the bodies.

He has also done this on TR visors as well.

Note that he has a 100% rating....

Well, if the buyers are that stupid and uninformed, I have little sympathy for them.
As for the seller, his rating speaks volumes about Ebay's lack of scruples, despite all of their oh so politically correct posturings; it's ALL about the money.
I wonder if I should have chosen headgear to collect, all so long ago!
Speaking of repros, I saw a WWII Italian general's cap listed on Ebay, as a repro, for $ 550!!

If you have any doubts about this cap, just flipping it over will scream repro.
Funny that the cap is missing the totenkopf, which gets so many buyers all hot & bothered.
I usually do a search on Ebay Germany at least twice a week, under militaria 1871-1918, German Empire, for either schirmmutze, or mutze. 90% of the caps are repros sans insignia, or crap like this visor.

Here's another. At least this is being sold for what it is.

Is this trying to be a GdC visor?:

Just another worthless piece of garbage. Nothing to see here folks

This one is the worst yet. They took a DDR miners visor, ripped off the visor, and voila, created a Husaren Kratzchen:

A DDR cap.

Piping could be Braunschweig, black colors look like Leibhusaren, skull is a fake of the Brunswick enlisted skull and the Reichskokarde is an officer pattern on a "Krätzchen".

Very, very strange combination.

Yes, this is what the hat would have looked like before being "Imperialized":
