    Whoever sells this cap being the specialist of fake stamps and false markings, do you not think that the letters of the markings inside the cap are a little big?

    No, I don't, I think the stamps are original to the cap, compare here:

    Stamp on Heer schirmmütze sweatband

    EM/NCO Infantry Tellerform Visor

    Artillery em/nco schirmmütze

    I agree, the lettering is bigger than usually found.
    What I look for is sufficient room between the TK and the eagle (and the absence of prong holes from the eagle moved up).
    I like it more than I don't.

    As an addendum:

    For Officer visors, one of the things to look for is not only an elevated eagle, but a visor retailed by one of the 3 major Effekten distributors in Braunschweig: Kurz, Bredthauer, & Bohnsack.
    Shown are 2 Erels, both retailed by Kurz:

    Phillipe--
    I have no problem with the one you posted, as it has an elevated eagle, and the Gepruft stamp.
    (Private-purchase EM/NCO visors are usually marked).

    My post refers to Officer visors only, as their hats did not have to be approved.
