Hello everyone, here is a cavalry officer visor that I would like some opinions about. From my eyes it appears to be good visor but I would like to hear some feedback. Thanks!

A bit salty, but a good one I think, although the piping on my monitor looks more like Signals rather than Cavalry.....
Cavalry Waffenfarbe is a bit darker and more deep yellow, the Sigs is more of a lighter coloured yellow...
Here is a Cavalry cap of mine which I think shows the colour of Cav a bit better...

Thanks guys for the input. I still think that the piping is cavalry. The overall condition of the visor is very salty and the majority of the piping has been discolored probably due to sunlight. I've attached more pics of exposed piping at the rear of the visor. Here you can see the differences of color better and underneath has that golden yellow color. I apologize that my pics probably weren't the greatest and also monitor color output variations don't help either.

Golden yellow piping , no hesitations .
It had a hard time in the last 70 years as this ersatz material is so fragile !
And not period where it was normally worn with some traces ...

Whatever someone is willing to pay but I would assume not much... tough to judge monetary value of these type visors.Comment

I agree with Dan, and yes your new photos show the colour much better for Cavalry.....

I would think $600 is a fair price, mint they can go up to $1500. Am I wrong?Comment
