I believe this to be a genuine example of an RLB Officer's visor, but before puting it on E-Stand I would welcome any comments. Thanks in advance.

Looks ok to me.Comment

That might be a great original cap, but that swastika looks like a crawling spider in motion. I only bring it up because I see others criticize a swastika when an arm is slight off kilter.
AGAIN...no problems with this cap at all, just an observation on an originally embroidered swastika.

Thanks, guys.
Yes, Richard, I see what you mean but if you look at Wim Saris Vol. 2 Headgear book (p.176) you can see a cap very similar to mine and the swastika is not exactly uniform!
Perhaps these hand stitched eagles will vary.Comment

Wessel,
This was not a critcism about your cap. It is first rate..my only intention was to point out that an imperfect swastika does not destroy a piece and make it a fake automaticly. All hand embroidered stuff varies as you mentioned. RichardComment

Nope. There are exceptions to every rule. And it must have been extremely difficult to hand-embroider that swastica through the existing bullion star, and still have it look like something familiar.Originally posted by Richard P View Post
Yup. And this cap eagle is clearly fine German craftsmanship IMO. Bright and beautiful, crisp and clear.Originally posted by Richard P View PostComment

I agree with the above--asymetrical swastikas are almost the norm on RLB visors. Most of them are done in black thread over the bullion. Here is mine:NEC SOLI CEDITComment
