Reichspost Visor - 1944

[Rossi]

Hello,

One of my new visors. Not a super coveted one but in really nice shape. The eagle still has nearly all of it's original frosting. No damage that I can find and no mothing A bit of trivia. The visor was manufactured on 21 June 1944 in Hamburg. This date is one day after 425 B-17's bombed the oil refineries at Hamburg. Another reason I liked this one is that my Oma grew up just miles from Hamburg.

Kudos & much appreciation to MAP, Stonemint, Bob Lyons, Wagriff & Jphilip for helping me behind the scenes review this 1 of 3 visors I have added to my collection. This is my first visor purchase in 33 years of collecting. The forum really helps as I did a lot of reading first and looking through threads. Visors is not my area of expertise as we can't know it all. It helped to verify with the Visor Brain Trust before I made a deal.

Thanks! Rossi

Oops! Well 1944. I guess Reichspost are not that popular but one made in 1994 might make people open and take a peak right? I am a dummy with a bad typing skill.

I fixed in the body post now but can't on make post thread header.

Much better photos Kirk! It looks so much better. great saddle shape to it!

A perfect trifecta weekend!

Now for that elusive black cap.....

Great score, and that is a high-quality cap in both construction and materials (esp for 1944!).

Reichspost are some of my favorite caps in terms of a color combination and insignia....
