Bahnschutzpolizei NCO Visor

[wizardman]

Hello everyone, i just picked up this Bahnschutzpolizei NCO (Peter Kupper)..Unfortunately someone has done the most horrendous Visor- sweatband stitching ive seen..such a shame i hope i can get it fixed somehow..these are the sellers pics, and they flatter the dodgy work, but it has staples in the brim and really bad stitching all the way round Rare Visor but im disappointed

wiz, it looks good from these photos.
Ben VK in the UK is an expert at repairing these (with original thread), so you may want to contact him for a professional repair.

Thanks Stonemint, Im just disappointed as i love minty gear. Ben and i are Admins in the same Facebook group, ive seen his amazing work on SS visors, ill have a chat and see what he thinks. This is the stitching and also theres a black mark where SS visors have an RZM im just wondering if this cap was trying to deceive at some point

Nice visor. You kind of have to laugh at the staples

I think the "black" marks may just be initial?? And not an attempt to deceive.

wiz, this guy (boxcarsix) used to have a site advertising repairs to visors, but I cannot find it anymore.
He still sells on ebay, and maybe you can contact him thru there:

Thanks Stonemint..ill display it for a while and see how i feel. But long term i think i will get it restored. If i wasnt at the end of the world it would be a lot easier
