Yo! Read the first page again. Carefully. Four very knowledgeable collectors have given their opinion on the cap itself. And of these, two have explained the difference in cloth coloring of the piece.

As for what you "should" bid? That's entirely up to you and you alone. Start by doing your own resarch on auction sites with this type of item for sale. There is no magic number. There are folks who will drive an item 100% or more over its value just because they must have it. Have fun.

Here's a freebee. Comments like your last one will more than ensure a multitiude of responses the next time you seek advice on this forum.

The Luft chinstrap looks to be a recent addition as there are no witness marks on the visor from the buckles.
Great vaulting to the cap eagle! very jaunty!! Jack

The chinstrap is loose and thus may hidden witness marks , if any, set higher on the visor where it joins the cap band.

Does anyone else seem to notice the discrepancy in color between the top bulk of the cap and the small section below the black band? In this and especially in the other post I'm noticing that the top of the cap is a very soft green blue and the bottom is a darker, harder green. Both look like colors of original caps, I just thought I'd bring up the difference.

Yes, I notice that too but ain't no cause for concern.

Statements such as yours and in bold type may sound inappropriate in a discussion forum rather than being indicative of your disorientation.
As a pro tempore "EXPERT" I'll tell you that the cap is original, to the best of my knowledge and as far as the few pictures allow. This does n o t mean I'll endorse your purchase, this being a discussion forum and not a board issuing authenticity certificates. It won't be wise buying an item without your own judgement. Purchasing is y o u r reponsability.
Despite globalization, prices still varies from country to country and from seller to seller. You can deduce a medium price by browsing thru auction catalogs and sale lists on the net. The right price is the one you can afford and the one you're prepared to pay, eventually.
Still confused? Save your money for something else which you feel more comfortable with.

...absolutely WRONG statement. This is the correct chinstrap for SS visors of this maker! A typical SS type chinstrap would be a ''later" addition.
100% original SS visor, the only thing , I've only seen them with silvered eagle and scull ,never alu.

Thanks for this reply and for the others like it. I really had no idea, and it was the first time I could notice it so distinctly. That's an interesting little note and I appreciate you guys chiming in. Cool!
