New visors.. Any concerns?

[Jumper]

Hi folks, new to the forum. Heard great things about it and finally took the plunge and jumped in with some visors. They were part of a package deal and Ive researched some but more info is better.

Is it worth the trouble to restore the Political sweatband? if so, whom would you all recommend?

Est of repair?


thanks for any comments.

Wow, you did really well. Congrats!

There isn't much you can do about that sweatband. It's a paper type and they tear easily. Do you have the missing piece?

Nice haul! The Luft officers visor looked iffy in the first picture but the close-ups are very nice.

Nice caps, especially the panzer. Jacques

Thanks for the nice words...

Im always scared of puttting things on since I kinda new at cloth.


Im waiting for the "those the best AGED repros Ive ever seen~!!


Any idea in the current condition what a ballpark sales range would be?

Im still kicking around keeping them but there is a MINTY LUGER Im looking at and it IS NOT CHEAP!!!

I like them all. The panzer looks like the much-discussed late war Erel & the infantry visor obviously started out life as an EM/NCO cap & may have been upgraded to officer status pre-1945. The luft is sweet.

Paul, well spotted on the late war Erel. Something interesting about this one, is the all bullion insignia. Most that I have seen have the standard solid insignia? Jacques

The Panzer could also be a later Schellenberg, and I think the eagle on that one may be a replacement...all nice caps though!
