Can anyone make this out?Comment

Wow, that looks stunning! The piping around the top really makes the cap stand out, as opposed to the 'normal' issue white tops. The unit stamp looks good to me, but I am sure the para guys will be able to comment more on that. I would hate to think what it set you back, but I am in love with your cap!!

Thanks Bob,
The dealer I got it from is a friend so he lets me know when he gets some new stock. What's funny is neither one of us noticed the unit marking. I discovered it later on, it was a pleasant surprise

I don't like this cap at all. The overall shape, style and symmetry (what I call S³) screams English repro and that stamp is completely wrong. Just my opinion.WAF LIFE COACHComment

Wow, Thanks Gene. I consider you a very knowledgeable Luftwaffe collector. I'm feeling a bit low now.Originally posted by Gene View Post

WoW ,I like the overall shape of this visor , but the two things I don't like is the lining and S/B plus I never see any white top luftwaffe cap with the top piping , not for my collection just my opinion .Last edited by lieproo; 10-03-2008, 09:05 PM.Comment

Yeah the only one that I have ever seen is the example in the Moran book too. I noted that Eric Queen doesn't lkike the unit stampings, from your posts in the FJ forum.
I don't think I would be game enough to have a crack at it, Gene's experience on Luftwaffe visor caps is amongst the best in the game, I would sure heed his advise, he has saved me from a couple of bad caps in the past, might be time to bale.....

Im pretty sure this is a Janke. You dont see many Janke Luftwaffe visors.....but in my opinion this is a repro made by Janke. What is or was (if you can see it ) on the sweatshield.Comment
