Please post your DATED Erel Visors

[stonemint]

This was forwarded to me, and is from the collection of a davidsw of the GHW. This was probably a DLV visor at one time, and the officer period-upgraded when the new LW officer came out of the shadows:

Stonemint - What do you make of the "pebbled" visor undersurface on the cap in Post 30? When seen in green, it is commonly rejected as fake, but I have always wondered.

It also shows up on the DLV conversion just posted. Again, I have wondered whether the "fake" conclusion about "pebbled" texture is correct. I can't see anything wrong at all with the caps posted

Leroy--
All pebble-finished visor undersides are not fake. It is just that most LW jankes used the pebble-finished green underside for most of their caps.

Here is a text-book pebble-finish LW Janke:

I did get one date wrong--Erel moved to the Heinrich Roller Str in April, 1939 (not 1938). As such, you should not see Heinrich-Roller Str addresses with a 1938 date on them--only 1939.

Here is another one dated 1942

Pie--
Can you post a pic of both Erel logos? Is yours a standard/extra or privat?

[pieand]

That's the right one

Double marked, but without silver lettering. Just embossed on the grey leather.

Okay, class, how 'bout this one:

I think transitional markings.
I suppose there is no date inside the sweatband.
