Hey Chris,
I'll be the first one to shame myself, but I don't like the visor. The things that bother me on a cursory glance are twofold:
1. The bullion cockade/wreath looks off to me.
2. I don't like the discrepancy between the soiled white top and the new-looking sweaband and visor/underbill.
Best,
J-

About Janke, is it a shop or a private address ?
How do people order from them ?
Do they have catalogue or website ?
I mean it would be much easier to know what they have in stock, rather than guessing what we've here, no ?
Any close-ups of the eagle ?
Interesting visor, I like it and not, kockade says Janke, looks like sewn on eagle ..

.. but ... maybe the owner had 2 visors and the white tops were changed or a put together visor, have seen half visors on ebay and white tops at dealer sites, finding the right size ain't easy though, but you'll never know .., just saying a lot is possible in headgear world ..

I am surprised there weren't more replies to this thread. I am with NTZ.
Absolutely no wear to the sweatband, but sweatstaining and a missing sweatshield to the top.
Bullion wreath appears Paki--they always have an overly large silver bullion backing to the cockade.
I do not think this is a Janke, or even a Franky, but some other postwar re-work.NEC SOLI CEDIT
