I have serious concerns about this one. Sorry

Me too. Look at the line of stitching below the bottom piping on the outside. Also, why is there black wool on the pasteboard?

Hallo Alexandre

Only my friendly opinion, without bad intentions, because I 've seen that you have put some legitimate questions about your visor, starting from its own true pattern. So, I'm asking myself: Where is the crusher's style?
I see only a despoiled infantry officer visor with some problems:
- an eagle crudely restitched;
- two frontal overlapping on the upper and medium piping (maybe only a cloth's depression or an image's defect?);
- three posterior crude stitchings of the piping rows;
- some manifest marks, as you rightly say, of a metal oakleaf wreath and cockade;
- posterior panels not correctly set in line;
- a line of scattered and unexplainable stitching on the right side, just over the visor's point of union.

It would be very interesting to see if this cap still has a peak stiffener behind the front lining.

Apart from these impressions, I like this visor as a whole, for what it really is !

Best regards

Well said, that about covers it.

...all due respect Alexandre, I really don't like the cap!

Take some measurements of the overhang, the center band etc.

Ask 'why' the upper piping is so discolored while the center and lower are so bright. Ask 'why' the pleats aren't flat like a mid-week pancake

When a 'collectible' demands so many questions, it typically does not bode well.

Thanks to all for your opinions and interesting informations!!

It seems I have in hand a nice "Frankenstein" cap...
