Panzer visor cap (Erel)

[sander vw]

Stunning example(s)!!

Very nice visor, thanks for sharing!
Here's mine, his twin brother.

Yes! And both are beautiful examples.


But notice the subtle differences. eReLs are a study within themselves.
One has a nickel (German Silver) roundel and one has a matching aluminum roundel. One has a leather sweatband with the seam at the rear with a bow, and the other has an ersatz sweatband with the seam at the side (and the opening towards the front, interestingly enough) with just an x-stitch. One has more of an eskimo type wool while the other is clearly doeskin. And both appear to be untouched, midwar examples.


And yet both are NCO ranks with the desirable green lining, "Privat" logos, and (presumably) grommeted, vented cockades, all common to the finest generals caps!


This, IMO, is why eRel caps are so fascinating. And although they are just as common (if not more-so) on the market as any other maker, they are extremely desirable.

Interesting comments.
Something new for me is the sweatband's logo on the opposite side on the second cap presented in this post.
