Waffen Visor

Not too much in the way of response on the Gray SS in this thread.

I thought totally put together but no one really commented one way or another. If I am wrong I would love to know it and I am sure so would Ken B. After looking at it a few more times I found a few things more I didn't like but it is always nice to hear from the real SS visor guys. I learn so much, especially when you get the great insight like bobwirtz’s comments on this thread.

In general, the regulations allowing the officers and men of the Waffen-SS to wear their branch colors on their service caps was short term... 8 months in 1940 ending in November.

This cap: Is this Cavalry/Motorized Reconnaissance? The SS Cavalry Division wasn't around in 1940 when these were authorized and Motorized Reconnaissance before April (effective June) 1942 was copper brown. So this cap would have had to have been made after mid-1942, at least 7 months after the regulation ordering the end of these caps.

It is type knowledge that we need more of.

Thanks Bob.
