Luftwaffe Hermann Goring (RGG) EM visor by G A Hoffmann
Hi, I have this cap for review.
Looking at this thread:- LW-HG (Hermann Goering Division) Visors
I noticed that the "I/ Gen Goring" cap at the start of that thread has the same style of Unit stamp for the same sub-Unit, i.e not behind the sweat-band. Also, lower down on that thread there is a G A Hoffmann 1938 dated cap, also with the 1st pattern eagle. I think that 1938 was a transitional year for the 2 eagle types? At least perhaps for this manufacturer?
Hope you like it!
Regards, Paul

That is a stunning visor. Thanks for showing.
Looks unissued. Do you have a shot of the inside? My HG visor is on post 12 of the link you provided. 1936 dated Lubstein/Erel. First year of the regiment if I'm correct.
Your pictures are fantastic as well.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Posts crossed....I see the interior pictures now. Again great mint visor. Maybe Stonemint will add it to the thread
and I think 38 was the last year of the droop tail for the visors.

One-looker original, and yes, it will be added to the Authentic examples thread.

MAP/ Stonemint - thanks so much for taking the time to review it, much appreciated!
MAP - You can thank Ratisbons for the pictures, better than I could do! When I have it in hand and I have the time, I'll put it on a mannequin with a HG fliegerbluse etc and post some pictures in the appropriate Forum area.
Best regards, Paul
I wondered what was at Gneisenau Strasse 33 today .......? so I had a look.
A driving school, a carpet company and a Kung Fu Academy ( sign partly obscured by tree )
Herr Hoffmann WOULD be disappointed .......

Wonder if the building is the original one though?

I think if it was rebuilt it would not be as ornate and of the period as it appears Paul.
With all the stonework and sills / lintels etc.. I'd say it was the original.
Cheers, Dan
