I posted this visor back in December of this year. Unfortunately the post turned into an insignia "good - bad" thread. I would like to re-post to get opinions on visor alone. Several pictures will be posted, should additional be needed, I will do my best to take as directed.
Here are some of comments from that post:
"I believe this is a high end Clemens Wagner cap; Clemens Wagner was a major contractor for black SS caps for all ranks. I do also believe that they made grey caps with this logo, as well. Finally, I also believe that Clemens Wagner Erstklassig logos are also widely employed on fakes, but if one is asute in one's empirical craft, then you can tell the difference between authentic and fake ones. I believe that cap distributors or little retail firms for uniforms also carried Wagner caps. Clemens Wagner, as Wilkins points out, was a major cap factory on an mechanized basis, but they also seem to have had a better brand of product, i.e. Extramuetzen of various qualities. This logo looks authentic to me. Postscriptum: notice the cursive Buchstaben 'CW' in the logo".--Donald Abenheim<!-- / message -->
