Political Visor Just Bought?

[fknorr]

I have seen this imprint in other NSDAP caps, in fact, as well as in Army caps. I cannot recall what Meister Wilkins has to say on this score, but my wild a%% guess is Isken of Cologne. But then there is an "h" there, as well, which does not fit. The cap is wholly authentic. Surely others have pieces with this imprint. As a rule party caps were to be devoid of such marks, but there are exceptions.

The manufacturer of this piece is "Heer-tise" (that is how is sounds, I am not 100% on the spelling), which expalins the "H". It is a period manufacturer but not as known as say eReL or Schellenburg. Here is the same label a Luft Medical of mine.

As Donald stated, makers labels are the exceptions to the rule but they are seen from time to time. Here is a marked one I used to own (wish I still did).

I've just done some repair work on a very similar visor to the first one posted here for a forum member so I would say without hesitation that it is 100% authentic.

Interesting that this cap is by a private maker and has a staple in the back of the sweatband. That was considered one sign of a supposed fake SS cap on the infamous SS cap thread of a month ago (that caused much turmoil).
