Cavalry Officer's Visor W/Traditions Skull

[militariacoll]

Any and all opinions welcome! Cream underside visor doesn't have the cross hatching and the interior lining doesn't have as many folds as usually seen...Piping is well executed and partial crown sweat shield is celluloid.

Two ITEMS jump out...ripped maker label and lining material color..it looks very similar to the German made postwar Altesste caps..hopefully it’s NOT

General consensus I received, seemed to indicate it was "OK" - but . . .

Reminds me much of this one, Bilbert. It had more "repairs" than I was comfortable with . . . and I shared a similar concern over it's visor underside and lining.

Hat is definitely an Alteste

To me the insides of these is an easy tell. J

I leaned the same way - but it just had too much work that I didn't feel comfortable with. Although the lining - and it's label - was not quite the same as that in your Cav cap, the paper visor type certainly was. It also had the ever-so-famous pressure-free system at the sweatband - which of course, we can see here that your Cav does not. May not share all the same traits - but it certainly did have that same visor attached.

Alteste for sure
