[Max Wünsche]

I would like other opinions on this SS officers visor.

Not in perfect condition but I think it has a real chance....

The skull is a known fake (with a lot of makeup).
The eagle has "the fake smile" and other red flags.
Definitely

Artificially aged Frankenstein with a Pekuro lining from a civil cap.

Thanks for your opinions Ben & Olle.... very much appreciated.

The eagle looks to be a late war Assmann zinc, the skull is an artificially aged fake.

...and only £2000 estimate.

It's available at the same auction house BenVK grabbed the cap he reshaped! Goes to show how fickle these places can be...

[BenVK]

It might go for more than that, I've seen plenty of money being thrown away on fakes at auction and it's a daily occurrence on ebay..

You're not wrong, I'm sure it will go for well over the estimate. I have just enquired after a repro side cap and another cap (£20-30 estimate). For twenty quid I thought it would look okay in a photo, but they have just sold for about £800 and £1400 including vat. This auctioneer even gave a fair warning and a repro estimate!

I use to feel sorry for these muppet bidders but not anymore..

[stonemint]

That is a BRD Pekuro lining.

Even the moth holes look fake on this one. The bogus newspaper and initials pins are old tricks.

People are definitely wasting a lot of money on crap these days. Looks like time for another nasty recession to get people thinking clearly again.
