Hello,
I acquired this "mint" OKK visor for a junior officer with all-celon insignia. The visor is "unworn" with only minor sign of wear.
I am very keen in getting your valuable opinion on this piece.
The pasteboard is treated cloth and exactly sewn in place as shown in this old post from member "stonemint"

The buttons are sewn trough the board, as well as the wreath is sewn through (but only three very tiny stitches trough the liner.)
The eagle is NOT sewn trough the liner.
The liner is light-brown with imprint of OKK, covered by a (cracked) celluloid sweat shield.
Liner is sewn same way (machine-sewn, except for some centimeters at the front.)and the visor has a buckram stiffener, both as "stonemint" had described it in this post

The cap band is not sewn on the visor (except with the wreath insignia).
The chin-strap is out of very thin, shiny lacquered material and has some minor "cracks"
The "unusual feature" is the is shown in the last picture.
Thank you all for your opinions.
Thanks
Christian
