Zeppelin Reederei Visor

[stonemint]

I have always considered this to be a "holy grail" of civil visors. It is currently for sale on Hueskens site (along with that SSTK uniform, so who knows):

Obviously, if one has the correct insignia (which I have seen go for $2500 alone), the hat can be easily faked. This insignia looks good:

This is supposed to be the original owner wearing the hat, but he has gold buttons on his:

Tunic--this guy was probably a steward:

Hello,
I agree and I would love to own one of those myself. IMO, you can't beat Zeppelin stuff. It would nice alongside my Zeppelin letter, maybe if I win the lottery.

Regards,

Hi Jody! Here is a Zeppelin insignia that sold on Bruce Herman's site for $1,995. If anyone else has any Zeppelin-related uniforms/insignia/headgear, please post here!

Compare the sleeve vs waist length and the angle of the lapels on those two tunic pics. IMO it's not the same tunic.

I mentioned this Zeppelin group in an SS thread (SS KL Uniform) I started a couple of days ago. There is a close up portrait of the supposed owner in a Zeppelin thread on WAF....search Zeppelin visor. The chinstrap buttons are indeed brass in the photo and the peak is patent leather or laquered. Judging by the massive amount of fakes on Andre's site, I'd avoid this cap like the plague. The cap has been on his site for a few years now...

I've looked at that visor a number of times and think the wreath/emblem is good and the body is not. The cap is too mint and as we can see from the period photos, not the same cap (another point...the photo shows a patent chinstrap..the visor has a textured strap). IMO this is probably the most expensive Zeppelin emblem in history at 12K.

Off topic slightly, but there was an interesting documentary last night on the Hindenburg, was quite well done, on channel 4 i think!

Nice stuff!

Very cool cigarette case...I wonder if Marlboros would fit? Did you bid on it? Looks good to me. They may be from a gift shop but also possibly for employees or who knows.
