    Waffen SS Visor Comments

    I was told that this visor is 100% original. It does not look like it to me but I am definitely no expert. I wanted to get other opinions to make sure that i was not wrong.
    Thanks for any help!

          Indeed, better photos are needed and don't hold your breath.

            Sorry all. I cannot seem to enlarge the pictures that were sent to me. I even had the resident computer expert ( my wife ) try, to no avail.

              PEB,

              I don't think you really need to worry about larger pics.

              Besides the fact that this cap doesn't look like it was made by Erel (shape, leather visor, cloth) you'll never find a Wehrmacht Kleiderkasse marking in an SS cap, especially not an "Offizierskleiderkasse" one in an enlisted/NCO rank item... just my opinion of course...

                      For me I don't need better pictures.
                      The cap is a frankenstein! What a pitty for the nice ERLE inside,
                      but the outside is for sure a poor fake.
                      The material is wron, the black edge looks like wool and not velvet.
                      Have a look at the big border between the lining and the piping.
                      Now way the cap is for shure put together between new and old.

                      Cheers,

                        Ohhh... it's even supposed to be a very modest SS General if I see correctly who preferred regular rather than the velvet cap band. Probably made him feel closer to the Volksgemeinschaft

                          ....you show two different caps!!
                          The inside is an other cap as the one you can see in front!
