WH Cavalry Visor cap; fake or good ?

[Meme32]

Dear Members of the forum,


I recently found this cap for sale.
I do not see any red flags on it and I have a good feeling.
Nevertheless I am far to be an expert, especially, I have no idea if the totenkopf is genuine or not.

Many thanks for your kind support.

From these pictures the cap itself seems to be an original ErEl without the ventilation system. What concerns the traditions's badge I can`t comment as I don't know a thing about them.

Isn't this the one currently listed for sale on Espenlaub? I'd trust their judgement on it, though I'm not a collector of visors myself.

Regards, B.B.

Cap is good, and the TK appears to be a good Assmann in aluminum.
When they came together, I cannot tell you.

This is my personal preference, but I like to see the eagle mounted high, with no contact between the TK and the eagle/wreath:

Thanks Stonemint, ErWesa and BrodieBartfast for your quick replies.
Everything is said about this cap, thanks to you I made my opinion !
Stonemint, thanks for your nice picture, it is clear that I would have felt more comfortable with the eagle mounted a bit higher...
Kind regards
