Opinions on This Infantry Officer Visor

[Rev462]

I just picked up this Infantry officer visor and would like to get some opinions.

Thanks in advance!

A view from the top.

A couple close ups of the front. Does the chin cord look East German?

[Rev462]

Chin cord button and slider. The button is not East German but the cord?

[Rev462]

A couple interior shots.

BenVK & erikjo,

Thanks for your questions. I'm pretty sure the chin cord is East German and I think the buttons might be West German, that's not really a big concern.

I was mainly wondering about the exterior material. It has a fuzzier nap and softer feel than most doeskin I'm familiar with. Does it look period? Any other red flags that you can see?

[BenVK]

It's not doeskin, I would suggest that it's eskimo fabric.

I'm on the fence about this cap, I think it's a 1950/60s cap but I'm not sure.
Personally, I wouldn't bother taking the risk.
Genuine Infantry visors aren't exactly scarce!

Cap cockade and eagle are replaced.
