Extra Large Dress Hats

[Rolf D.]

Has anybody come in contact with a size cap of 61 or 62? I was wondering how much they would cost. Even with mothing how much do they run?

[Dave Kane]

Rolf here is a visor in size 61. Note the 'extra' material in the sweatband!Dave

[Dave Kane]

This cap could sell for better than $1,500.00 not only for the size but condition must be considered.

Man that's a pretty visor..

A very nice visor indeed , Dave? Did you manage to get some information on the former owner, Doctor 'Klare'?

Cheers

Erel Luft Visor - Size 60

Hi Rolf -

I had a well-worn (ie Salty) size 60 Erel LW Officer's visor about four years ago. No mothing, but the bottom had seen a lot of use - the bottom piping was roughed up quite a bit in the back. I think I sold it for $575 then, so I would imagine it would be over $600 now.

Thanks all! Jan, I haven't found any reference to the name at all!

[Rolf D.]

Thanks Dave!
Nice cap!
Is there such thing as size 62?

[Dave Kane]

I would think that 61 on up wouldn't be a production run but rather a "special order".

A perspective!

Compare a size 61 to a 54!!

Interior 54!

Hi Guys, here is my largest size cap, a 1943 dated Luftwaffe Officers schirmutze made by "Erel" in size 60.
Cheers, Ade.

Let's have a look at the interior!

Hi Dave, here you go

Side view. The cap has been crushed, but more from bad storage than anything. The cap spring is still present.
Cheers, Ade.
