Thanks, Stonemint, for the link. He obviously takes pride in his work, though reproducing visors is nothing new. What I found particularly interesting are the repro panzer berets (his two piece model) - by the pictures the liner looks spot on, and the Lubstein lable is a nice touch. I would love to see one of those in person and see how it matches up with an original. If they are good, I hope this guy is adding to them (and the other caps) some mark to let collectors 20 years from now know that the piece is a reproduction.

I guess I'll be finding out as I'll be sending him a cap to put back together

Birgy, does he do repairs to visors other than crushers? In other words, can he re-attach vulkanfiber visors and re-place sweatbands?

I hear ya. My only interest is repair, not buying goofy looking fakes

I'd hold off on sending anything to this guy. My hat still hasn't shown up and I received a rather odd reply from him. Thank God I didn't send an expensive cap

[R.Beck]

The verdict is in! Outstanding work. As always though, I'd use a degree of caution when sending anyone cash or valuable headgear. Good luck
