Visor Peaks and Shapes

[JasonA]

Most of us appreciate visors for a number of reasons; one is the peak. I thought it would be interesting to share profiles of pieces from all branches to highlight the variety in peaks and shapes. The profile shot also affords good views of the padding to the sides.

And more.... Please add your own profile shots.

Needless to say, all these examples are Luftwaffe.

Good idea J. and nice caps. I like a nice high saddle shape. Here's two of my favorites , a Luftwaffe and a Heer.

OK Karl, quit showing off; I'm getting dizzy!

Sorry Bob, I get a little carried away, just one more. This Erel panzer still has it's shaping wire in the crown. More then half of the visors I've owned had the wire removed.

Ah, Karl...those are all beautiful caps. I love them.

Hans - thanks for contributing yours as well. The floppier forms seem to fit the KM and summer visor quite nicely.

I can personally attest to Karl's very fine collection of headgear, while trying to surpress my jealousy!

Bob - you obviously love Karl's collection! I am fortunate in that Karl has so kindly shared much of it with me privately. I'm happy that he's added some fine profiles to this thread.
