Sorry Van, I don't think it is a good one. Sweatshield seems to be made of plastic.

. Sweatshield seems to be made of plastic.

Yes,I think so too.Could be the pics though.
I don't like the visor either.

[TONY Q.W.]

I don't like that sweatsheald either, and the markings appear to be fantasy.

1980 manufacture.....

sorry

Plastic welt on the sweatband where its sewn. Pebbled visor too?
As far as the maker's mark, anytime I see an eagle and swastika so prominently featured, it tells me to beware. As if trying to assure a collector it is Gen-u-wine Natzee!

I agree--postwar fantasy label. Be suspect of any wehrmacht hat with a swastika under the sweatshield.

Just as a side note if you ever see the German Adler on any Luft, Kriegs, Heer or SS visor run. You will find them on veterans or Soldatenbund visors and the Teno version of the Adler in Teno visors but that is about it. It is a huge red flag. Newer fakes and frauds won’t have these types of fantasy marks but older 60’s type visors will. That is where it could confuse some collectors. These visors show age and some are even made with period materials.

If is has the bird, give it the bird!
