Hi to everyone.....
Ok...after having asked some opinions about:
http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=867561
I decided to give it a closer look and IMO is an original chaplain visor cap.
In hand I'd say that the farbe is the correct violet shade and I've checked it cm by cm but I didn't find any signs of recolored piping
Maker: Christian Beder – Mainz (Rhein) Schillerplatz 22
I love it's shape and the sweat band has no red flags as well.The visor is firmly hand attached with large stitches amd no extra blank holes are present.
The cross is original but, from what I see, it has been repaired at some point but I think a cross was still present in origin since there're what look old signs under........
Ok...now we can go with pics...a lot, I know, but forgive me..I tried to be as detailed as possible....and of course any opinions are welcome....
Regards
Giorgio
