Wow--I am seeing some great stuff here.

One of my faves is the red-top of the Reichsbahn, worn by platform supervisors:

Tony, I like your "main man", Herr Weber, too:

This one is actually my favorite Reichsbahn visor. It is a mid-war piece. Band is black wool instead of velvet, which was allowed by regs. Sweatband is ersatz, and the finish is that later-war laquer that does not hold up so well.

Still, it has a jaunty shape, and the insignia still glistens:

You do not see many Lubstein Kleiderkasse hats.
Here is one with the metal wings, and one with the bevo.
Later in the war many makers dropped the bottom ring of red piping, and went to a plain wool (or rayon) band, instead of velvet.
