WSS Visor Cap Opinions Please.

[william63]

Firstly, I would just like to say Hello, Im new to the site and being a collector of militaria would value more experianced collectors opinions.
I picked this WSS nco cap up recently and not having a great deal of knowledge on ss headgear would appreciate your thoughts.
Not in the best of condition! but the question is wether real or fake?
Regards.

The pipiing looks to be a different size from the crown to the brim?

Hi,
I just checked and maybe it is the camera angle! the piping is dirty on the brim but the same size as the crown

Look at the piping in the first example and then in my enclosure. Recall that the piping was the work of the most expert hands in the cap making trade.

Or here, as well, for that matter.....

I was told this cap was in a basement that flooded 2/3 years ago.

Authentic caps, with or without flooded basements a year ago or seventy years ago.
