This is not a beater by any stretch, but it is an excellent example of how visors are genearally found when getting them from veteran's or their familes.
Unfortunately, most have usually been sitting in a footlocker for 70+ years with other garments on top (usually the vet's own uniforms).
Over time, the visors flatten and pull away from the body, and the peak stiffener collapses:
(This is a good visor by Isken)
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
"Salty" KA
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
The critters seem to love RAD Officer felted wool most of all--I have never seen one that did not have some sort of insect damage:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
Good look at the underside of a LW visor:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
The bugs got fat on this one:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
Hopefully this was not being worn at the time the damage was incurred:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
This kept the critters fed for a long time:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
this marinebund cap became a veteran on it's own
The Isken black enlisted cap can easily be repaired by skilled hands and is otherwise in fine shape, to be sure, and a desirable item being of the 1934-5 year group.
Isken is an underappreciated cap maker, mis characterized by the cap author has never having made caps in the III. Reich. Such is a typical error found in secondary sources, especially in English.
