No problem. The veteran insignia and caps are a minefield ! On the plus side they are also more plentiful and good value compared to other branch of service prices.
I like them

Tony, they really are easy to collect, and are the cheapest TR visors you will find, and plenty are in good to mint condition. Vet visors have yet to be faked or even reproduced--they just are not worth it. What you do see is post-war BRD vet's visors re-badged with TR insignia. Volume 2 of the Halcomb/Saris book lays out most of the variations of these visors, to include Kyffhauser, Soldatenbund, RKB & NSKOV.
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
Stonemint, roger that !
here's the book referred to....buy all the volumes if you can (4 at moment and vol 5 to be published early 2012)...Mr Saris contributes on the forum.
Also insignia of inter-war kyffhauser as mentioned in above volume below.
cheers

These can be dangerous--they are also postwar, but follow the DAF Fest cap design, also used by the NSKOV. Anytime you see a hat with "PEKURO" stamped into the sweatband, it is postwar:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
