SS visors for opinions

[athomas]

Hello,

I’m trying to decide on an SS visor to pull the trigger on and it’s between two that are in my price range.

The first (link below)
http://ww2germanmilitaria.com/galler...ef=D-HAD-HAT-6

It’s has few things I’m not seeing with other examples I’ve come across. The insignia looks bad, but seller is willing to take off for lower price. It’s missing the SS tag behind the leather band. In addition, the celluloid diamond looks oddly shaped and it doesn’t have the small square box the owners tag name goes in. Maybe this is normal and I’m being too paranoid. The seller (Dariusz Michalski) is based in Canada which makes me even more cautious because it could be that much harder to deal with if a problem arises. Anyone have dealings with this seller?




The second

It looks more text book, but I’ve noticed the seller has some fake insignia (SS skull and Eagle) for sell listed as authentic. I think even the amateurs know that original SS skulls never had an SS logo next to the maker’s mark.


So gents, if I could ask the more experienced to give an opinion it would be appreciated.

Thanks

The second cap is real . Insignia I cannot say.

The insgnia on the first cap appear to be ground dug examples and are not matching in materials . The insignia on the second cap appear to be very nice and matching, imo.

Does the 1st visor appear to be original, considering the diamond celluloid odd shape and the missing SS tag?

Missing tag wouldn’t bother me all that much. My cap has a missing tag as well. Ive seen a few caps where the tags were removed. Ive also learned over time some people actually stitched fake tags in original caps(but that’s not relevant here). Judging the (pictures) cap itself. I don’t see any real red flags with it. It looks like a solid original cap. IMHO
