Your help please on visor caps

[Terry 29]

Hello everybody,I would like your opinion about some visor caps which interest me but I haven't got the knowledge to tell if they are fake or not...The artillery cap interests me more. So every opinion is appreciated.

and the others :

Hi Terry,

the first one, the artillery cap, is a bad fake (neither cap nor badges are any good), the second one, the Alkero cap, has a chance (would need more and better pictures - the lining seems to be damaged/missing and the oakleaf-wreath doesn't quite fit the centerband in width) and the third one, the infantery cap, seems to be an original, unfortunately heavily mothbitten, specimen.

Terry. I see our friend ErWaSa's thoughts are similar to mine.

I would pass on the other two as well. Sorry I misread the label on the cavalry visor. I thought it said Pekuro, not Alkuro.

The 1st one is definitely a repro, and the 3rd one (a rare maker--Argo) is definitely real.

The 2nd one (Kav) could be a postwar rebuild--insignia is definitely not original to the hat.

As an example, here is a high-end Frankenstein Alkero that was recently posted on another forum. Exterior is almost perfect, interior not so much:

Pleasure to help. If you decide to become a Gold Member (a small annual fee of $25) you will also get access to many of the databases here as well which will give you even more insight. Stonemint has created a large number of threads for all types of manufactures, types, styles...etc.

The hundreds or thousands of $ saved is well worth the small fee to support the forum.
