I am posting some pics of a grouping that I just obtained from the UK. Reportedly, a vet bring back. I am posting all of the pics here because they supposedly are connected in some manner. Obviously, I do not know if they actually are. The grouping consists of NSRL insignia, flags (German, Greek, and Austrian (--I think--),
a visor cap, and a small banner associated with a sports event. Has anyone ever seen a visor like this? It has leather supports for the head. an elastic band and a greenish see through celluloid visor.
Large NSRL insignia (diameter 15cm). This looks like the type used on the 1936 summer Olympic uniforms; however, the tail on this one is different from the type used on the Olympic uniforms. I don't have a photograph of the Olympic example that I can post. I am posting a pic of a similar insignia in wear at the 1938 Reichsparteitag.

The size seems to be correct and as long as the construction and the material used is correct then I believe it is it, if not it's a version used for other sporting events.
I have never seen the black one. If I was in charge I would think it would look slick on a black dress jacket.
The design is a typical Tyrolian eagle, although I don't know the insignia I would guess the T is Tyrol, and S V spotsverbindungsstelle or something along those lines.
