[PHILBROWN]

thank you, how rare is this, or not.

[BenVK]

Deschler's aren't the rarest variation. What material is it made from? I'm after one myself if you wish to sell.

[PHILBROWN]

hello again ben, no its not for sale, its on my artillery ss visor, its the one with the heer eagle on, pretty bizzare mix, but not uncommon, i have a pic with sepp deitrich wearing a similar mix, i bought it in london a few months ago remember me telling you? thanks for the reply. phil

[BenVK]

Oh yeah, are you going to post photos of this cap Phil?
I'd love to see it and many others would too I bet.

[PHILBROWN]

p.s. sorry, i think its zinc with some silver wash still present, you say not the rarest ,but on a scale of 0 to 10 what,? phil

[PHILBROWN]

[BenVK]

I think it's fair to say that M1/52's are the most commonly found TK with the zinc ones being the least rare material compared to cupal or alu ones. I couldn't really rate it on a scale.
