SS Signal Visor Opinions Please

[sam1chlt]

Thanks again everyone. I appreciate your help. Ben. Did this maker design visors for other branches of service.

Ben,
Thanks. That link from stonemint was perfect and scary.

Here is what I have gathered so far. The insignia have been applied, the chin cord is WH. The dealer does sell sketchy items especially SS. My only question that remains beyond what I have stated, is the visor original either Calvary or signals. I am colorblind so I have no idea, but I will believe Ian.
Thanks again for opinions. I am thinking so far it is an original Calvary put together?

It is definitely a signals visor.

That sort of lining (cheesecloth and treated cotton) is mostly found on civil and paramilitary caps - NSKK, Judicial, Postal, etc. I would think caution is the order of the day on something like this.

Like I said, on page 6 of the thread that Chris created, there's this Infantry Officers cap and by the looks of it, the lining is a match in both material and colour.

With certain makers, Erel, HPC, Pekuro, Kaps etc, photos are enough in most cases to authenticate them because they have their own unique manufacturing footprints.

Hertlein is one of those makers that seem to be all over the place in terms of construction and materials plus factor in the known Hertlein fakes and it's going to be difficult to judge this SS cap. That's unless there is something completely obvious in hand that's not right, like a replaced centre band.
