If it wasnt already mentioned, another original example of an original HG visor can also be found at the Simon Wiesenthal Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. Wish I had taken some pics..

Yes there is, I'm never going back to that museum! It gave me the creeps!
I also wish that I took a picture of that visor. From what I can remeber, it was "baby blue ".
Right?

Leroy, thanks for posting! Love it!

A 'Buy-it-now' for only $5,000. !

Yea right. I wonder how many of these 'sown-in' fakes are actually out there in closet collections?

Does anyone have any idea where i can find a higher quality older reproduction of the Hermann Göring visor?

This one is really a fake ? If so, it looks amazing.
But at this price i think you're probably right.

If that visor was real would it be selling for a paltry $5,000. ?
But then it's not IMHO. No...I'm no expert but I look at at a lot of photos.
Would anyone want to buy that when you see Hermann wearing one like this?

Great pic Wags. Notice that the bullion adler is not embroidered directly to the cap on this one. I'd love to know just how many caps that guy owned!

And notice how the cap eagle looks larger than the breast eagle in this photo.

Hermann was a clothes whore !!! Billbert
