Your help please on artillery visor cap

[Terry 29]

Hello guys, this a visor cap which I interests, it looks more like a repro but I'm not specialist to be sure of that.
Every opinion is appreciated.

I would say it's a repro...………..is it priced as original or repro ? Avoid it if you want a real one ! cheers Tony

Well, stonemint is of different opinion (and so am I, but who am I compared to someone like spandau - I just love the late-war caps, Schellenbergs & all the others so perhaps wishful thinking), see here post # 44): Legit Visor Caps on Ebay

Hi ErWeSa, Always happy to be corrected, been wrong before and no doubt be wrong again ! If this one is a thumbs up then Apologies from me on jumping in too quick. Aa a personal preference I collect the early made caps so mid/late war stuff isn't my strong point. I just felt the peak and sweatband wasn't quite right. Hope the comment hasn't meant the thread poster has missed out on an opportunity.

best wishes

Tony


kind regards

It was a beauty--the only issue appears to be that it once had a bullion eagle, since removed (and hopefully not for the auction).

Note the boiled wool band trim (instead of the trikot of the body)--always a good sign:
