The first Heer officer visor cap I ever bought. I was still virtually a kid and to me it was WOW! An eReL! And look at that shape! It has the guy's name tag still in it! I wish I still got that thrilled over a purchase. The cap has a significant amount of moth feasting to the cap band. They like that nice soft material. I looked past that because back then I wasn't as picky on condition. Affordability was key and I wanted to make my first officer visor cap purchase. I still dig it after all these years.

And for the first visor I think you did pretty good!
Bouillon insignia.. Erel maker.. what's not to dig on this first timer!
Love it.

And the other caps do not look bad either!

Thanks Brian! Among the "gotta be mint crowd" that visor might feel a little self-conscious due to the significant moth damage to the cap band. However, otherwise it is a really neat cap and it still has a special place in my collection.

The other officer Arty visor is also named and I have the box it was shipped to him in as well as a pair of his shoulder boards that were thrown in the box with the cap after the war. Unfortunately a search at NARA did not turn up his file. Funny though, I did find him on a genealogy website, so I confirmed his existence, LOL.
