    Visor - Purple Piping

    Came across this salty one, pd $450, not sure if this was a fair price or not. Anyone that can provide some info/insight is appreciated.

      Could you photograph the piping that is hidden under the side folds?

            The stamp appears to be a purple nazi eagle, but is quite faded. There's some lettering above also so faded that you can't make out what it says. The cap maker appears to be "Rud. Gutschke" and then below that it looks like "S>>>>amm" and a number.

            It's very worn. The buillion hook/clamp inside is quite rusty and the liner band very worn.

              Just from the one photograph you shared showing under the fold, my money is on this being a dark blue piped visor for medical.

                  IMO not chaplain - piping would be violet.

                    Hi Wolfslair,

                    what are the "pieces" showing between the cocarde and the eagle? Are they aluminium or what material?

                    Cheers, Jack

                      Jack, they appear to be aluminum.

                        To give the impression that a chaplains cross was ripped off the cap leaving the broken prongs on the cap.

                          That is of course possible...

                            Hmmmmm..so we rip the Christian symbol cross off leaving only the prongs. We leave the eagle and dreaded swastika and the German national colors on. That is almost way too politically correct to be believable.

                            Cost of original WWII German chaplains cross for faded piping medical visor = unknown?

                            Cost of original prongs broken off something = free.

                            Very fishy...

                              Agree with the others above: one look medical
