Hey, I was wonderin if Renwaxing the visor would be a bad idea? The leather is just starting to show hints of cracking?

Putting anything on the visor is a bad idea, unless you want to immediately devalue it. Collectors frown upon it and it get reflected in the value.Jacques

Please, don't touch it!!!

The cap is nicely aged.. so the visor. Your schirmmutze is nice also for that!

Cheers!

Ill let it be! One of my favorite pieces, just worn enough, but still nice. Appreciate the comments.
