All,

Any thoughts on this visor. I purchased it from a trusted seller. It is apparently a mid war double erel. It does have aluminum and zinc (eagle and wreath, but not sure wich is wich). I can post more pics when I get home. Thanks

Looks like a righteous Erel to me.

The wreath is zinc, the eagle looks to be aluminum.

The wreath is zinc, the eagle looks to be aluminum.

Don, it looks like Erel is making new officers visors. Is there any way to distinguish a new one that has been aged and an original?

The "new" Erels aren't made by Erel - a lot of them are Paki or Chinese knock-offs with few if any of the original manufacturing "tells". The sweat diamonds on the newer repros are plastic and the quality just isn't there.

That's good to know! I am stil a novice when it comes to visors and have to rely on others knowledge. Thanks again Don!
