Very nice shape visor cap.

I think the eagle is a modern reproduction.

Ouch! Are you serious?

Welcome to the forum Kehlsteinhaus !

Regarding the eagle (and the entire cap) I must say I disagree. It is one of the nicest and mintiest examples I have ever seen. It is a beautiful textbook eagle and wreath in stonemint condition on an unquestionable period visor.

There is only one problem I see: while most relatively common dark blue Government Officials visors are identified as Diplomatic visors, member pieand identified his unquestionable black Diplomatic Corps visor as being the visor of a Government Official.

Thank you!

The eagle looks so close to modern copies in my opinion, and the backing material looks rather wide...?
Wreath looks good but just my opinion.

Pierre, another killer lid--where have you been hiding all these beauties for all these years???

The Only thing missing is the Hat Box it’s been hiding in for the last 75 years..Bravo !! Billbert

Thank you for these beautiful comments.
Just a touch of humor. I feel reassured

I just noticed that it has the rare reverse-twist cords as well....

I totally understand your concern but this eagle is just incredibly minty. Check out the feathers on the eagle's breast -- the copies never show this detail.

I agree, that eagle is righteous, and similar to mine:

Nothing escapes you chris.
Is your cap a blue one, I think so.
Is it a maker name Inside?
