    Caroline, that one is an old repro from the 1980s.

    Hey ho...……...the tell is always in the detail. It's worth a look at the grommit for cockade to allow air flow through against originals on this site plus the tear away paper label is in black and white !


    As stonemint states old repro from the 1980's. You were wise to check here first.


    cheers

    To name only 2 of the most obvious deviations - also take a look at the sweatband, lining, cap cords...

    That's great - thanks everyone! I'll sit and compare it with known originals so I know what to look out for next time. Incredibly helpful, much appreciated.

    The funny thing about these is that the faker did not know what the true colors of the Erel cardboard advertisement were--they copied it from the 1981 French visor book, and the only photo of one was in black and white.
