Forum Search--It's Easy--Try BEFORE You Buy

[stonemint]

At the top of this forum, there are numerous pinned threads. They are broken down into repro/fake hats, and originals. Every pic has a keyword, which is the maker, the town, or most often, both.

If you are going to buy a hat, and you know the maker, all you have to do is use the search function by putting the name of your maker in quotes (ie, "Robert Lubstein"), and search by "post" (not as a thread).

This way, you can compare the logo/hat characteristics to the hat you are considering purchasing. If you are still unsure, post the hat on the forum BEFORE buying. (If the seller/dealer will not let you post on the forum, do not buy the hat).

I just want to avoid repeats of this:

How about pinning this one as well?

Good idea, but it appears no one is reading them!

BTW, I just went and checked--I posted this same hat twice back in December:

The first time, it was being dumped on Ebay....

I was looking for a good thread that addressed late war LW CW generals visors. I did not find one searching but perhaps someone knows of one on another forum. There is a nice attributed Luftwaffe general on the MB site and I want to make sure the cap is OK.

Can you provide a link?

This thread has some general visors in it (fake and real):

Unfortunately, that one is a Deibel fake from the 90s.
