[stonemint]

Gents:

While I know my visors, I am still learning w/ regards to Kepis.
This is a mint NSFK EM/NCO Kepi, and I would like to hear opinions on it:

[stonemint]

Isn't the button smaller than usual?

Interior. I have never seen an ink-stamped logo on a Halfar visor before, but Kepis are a different ball of wax altogether.
Also, should these things normally have an RZM tag?

Chris-
This Certainly Appears To Be A Nice Original Example, N S F K Material Is Not To Be Found On An Every Day Basis.

[Bob Coleman]

The Kepi From Picture Judgement Only, Looks Fine. I Would Never Pay That Much For An Other Grades N S F K Kepi.
As To The R Z M Tag, It Is The First One I Have Ever Seen On Anything Related To This Organization.

[Pascal Bernhard]

My Opinion...

This RZM tag is with certitude a fake (wrong matter and not only this...), it was certainly add in the cap to make it more "saleable" from somebody without any knowledge about NSFK items (but NSFK is in the Orgabook, so... sure they must have a RZM tag ).

We can find the same kind of tags in the faked NSKK kepis...

This NSFK kepi "seems" OK, but only the fact that we find this tag in the cap make it doubtful...

I would say nothing better that a "in hand examination", but I'm sorry, more I look at the pics, more I think the cap cames from the same source than the faked NSKK kepis...sorry, nothing for my collection .

Odd shape...chinstrap....eagle.....oval stamps in the lining... perhaps the button could be OK...

I agree with Pascal--the label appears to have come from another Mütze, and actually looks like a reproduction label. That it's in the kepi is not a good sign!
