Original & Fake Government Visor Cap?

[marisca lrommel]

This is a Visor Cap for sale in a Militaria shop very well known in Spain...

I think the eagle, cokade and wreath is original but the visor cap? .....

This is not so clear .... I would like to know the opinion of stonemint

What color is the piping?

I have the same question Don has--is it gray? What is it made out of--wool or bullion?
Better pix are needed, along with under the hood shots.

[marisca lrommel]

I think it's green.

This is one of the issues that made me suspect that it is not authentic 100% .... no better photos are possible

A similar original visor cap but with pipping silver

The piping is metallic when I zoom in, but impossible to say if silver or gold.

I imported them as well and under magnification the piping appears to be real tarnished silver.
photos again...

Eagle, wreath and cokade is silver...is supossed the pipping in this cap is silver.

Diplomatic Visor cap in black background color is possible with eagle, wreath and cokade silver and gold pipping but no in gray or feldgrau cap...

As seen in photos, it is "Feldgrau" color (the mixture between green and gray), the pipe looks golden although darkened and looks like cloth, not cotton.

I've seen one like that sold Oakleaf Militaria .... this is it:

Marisca--
Do you mean this visor?
If so, it does look good from the photos shown, but the only way to be certain it is 100% original would be an in-hand.


Maybe Kurt will see this and can comment on the insignia.
