If it had the velvet band added someone did a beautiful job.

Thanks for reply guys!
Skull and eagle bad - it is clear!
What tell on tailoring and material, still there will be opinions?
Thanks!

As with the General's visor unless you can get very detailed photographs of the lining and construction I would be very surprised if you get any further definitive comments .... You need Chris Stonemint, Benvk and the other real experts over on the cloth headgear forum to dissect these caps.

There are visor caps put together with original parts. Some sources haul all the of visor material they can find and piping gets colored for more rare piping like Infantry to Priest...

The piping and somehow the cloth tell my instinct somehow strange. Otherwise hands on.

I can entertain doubts just from the exterior photos alone....

Same with these 2 as well:

At this point we have three possibilities:

- The visors are true but, at least for the two WSS, the badges are false and the HG stamps are offset in time;
- The visors are high-end and ground-up repros;
- The visors are frankies put together using even some original parts.

Honestly, I tend to exclude the first argument for the simple logic that those who want to sell original caps does not fall into the stupid mistake of using fake badges; so, the two other hypotheses remain. All in all, I tend to share the third and, if so, then we need to study all them in deep. This means imo that Novosibirsk should post much more detailed interior images. I also wonder, given the genre's rarity, no other authoritative WAF member has seen them before on the market

who offers this visor capl, please fell free to speach.
I read 4500 Euro on the tag.

Colleagues thank you for your attention to a subject!
As these objects are interesting to me too, and externally they do not raise doubts (in any case at once) But I am guarded by safety of such rarity at the price (as correctly noticed) in 4500 euros.
I of course will try to elicit additional pictures of these caps...
Let's look (if it turns out) at their interiors.
