Poll: A-SS v. W-SS Visor

[stonemint]

Gents:
I am trying to determine the "desirability factor" for A-SS vs W-SS.

Here is the choice--you have to choose between these 2 visors, and only these 2 visors, which are exact as to maker, shape, insiginia, etc, and are both in stonemint condition. You have the $ for only one of them (which means you can't have both!)

The first is an Allgemeine-SS Officers with white piping;

The second is a Waffen-SS Officers with white piping.

Strictly on the basis that the Alg. SS officer cap is black, and has that "sinister" look, I will vote A-SS.

[Francesco]

I love both the caps but surely I vote Waffen SS!

I voted for A-SS Officer - I've had many W-SS Officer caps, but I've not yet had an Allgemeine . . .

Its neck and neck coming out of the blocks--I never would have expected this!

(Jody--love your taste in photography...btw, our discussion was what prompted this poll!)

I went Allgemeine. Here's why, Since the description was both were in stone mint condition, I felt the A-SS mütze was the better one to take. For me any Waffen-SS headgear would have to be worn a bit & show some of the horror that had been seen through the eyes of the owner. Since many of the officer ranks in the Waffen-SS felt it important to lead from the front I feel anything I collect from them should looks like "it's been there".

Now if the stone mint rule had not been there, I would have probably voted the other way. Either way, both would look sehrkool in my display case!!

Love em both ALSO BUT I ll take the fighting mans cap over an honorary VIP street marcher...I think the black one may be prettiest (or most sinster)...Billbert

WSS any day of the week plus twice on Sundays. A nice salty one with a bullet hole through the crown and straight out the woodwork from the Officers family plus a photo of him wearing it. I'm dreaming again..

I would take the W-SS because I think they are much more rare but I love the Alg.
