    These were the subject of a long thread on the WAF several years ago, with most leaning that they are all fakes made by a US company called Delta International in the early 1970's.

    still a nice addition to your collection and only the really staunched WW2 geek like myself would ever question the originality of the item, and it looks nice.

    Yes, metal ones were made. For Diplo, they were used by the lowest ranks (and had a silver finish).
    Some of the GG visors used metal insignia in metal as well, but with a gold finish.
