ARMY PANZER NCO'S VISOR CAP- Authentic or Not?

**Rockett** · 04-05-2014, 01:04 AM

I have a question if someone would be able to answer. I am new to the forums but really enjoy reading threads, I thought i would ask a question as well. I am interesting in this NCO Visor Cap. It is said to be an ARMY PANZER NCO'S VISOR CAP, and listed at 578.00 USD. Is this a fair price for the condition in which the hat is in and is this hat real or fake? To be honest i have no knowledge when it comes to German caps so i would appreciate the assistance. I personally think this is authentic but i would like some help.

I am in Canada as well. and being in Canada, these lids get pricey, especially when they are in good shape. I've seen them double even triple that because they are hard to find. What I would suggest Rockett is have a look around for a bit before you jump into a purchase like this. There is a Military show in Mississauga that happens every 4-6 months. Go to the show and scope it out. Talk to a few of the cats and see what prices are for their gear. Then you will get a better idea of what a crisp lid and a moth eaten wreck will go for. If you like, message me and I'll send you details about the show. I'm not sure about regulations on the board advertising for military shows. I might see you there, and if you're lucky you might see Walkwolf

Hello and welcome to the forum!

The piping on this one appears red on my monitor which would be for artillary, not panzer. Artillary visors are easier to find. This one is not made from doeskin and would be worth less than a quality visor in my opinion. Also, you have to take into account the condition of this one. I would recommend that you avoid this one and if you are determined to have a panzer visor, be patient, you will find one that you will be happy to own.
I know I did and I don't think I paid much more than he is asking.

Ralph.

And yes, I'll be there.........

I agree with Ralph, this looks like artillery piping, not panzer.
The cap authenticity aside, this is in very poor condition and I dare say a better one could be found for the same money that is being asked.

Save your money and put it towards a better cap in better condition, you won't regret it.
