SS NCO Black Dienstmutze - My thanks

**vanheerden01** · 06-30-2018, 11:53 AM

Gents, I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you to all of you that selflessly offer up your time to keep new collectors like me from stepping on expensive landmines. I have just added this SS NCO Visor to my humble headgear collection armed with more confidence after posting and getting the ok on this forum. I also just wanted to exhibit this custom display case that we designed to preserve my headgear and to also deter my wife from tossing them in closets as soon as Im on business trips.

Hopefully this design will inspire a fellow collector out there with their own custom displays.

PS. I have also added a photo as before from the RZM tag - could someone please assist me with the maker? I would just like to document this item properly.

Kindest regards Mardo

With regard to the Hersteller, it looks like the # was smeared when it was stamped in--is it 348?

Stonemint, a bit of a closer view. Would really appreciate if someone could decipher this one..

Guys, just something I found as well which might be interesting for research purposes. The visor itself was in beautiful preserved condition when I acquired it but the headband was nearly completely deteriorated. Afterwards I found that the previous collector was careful enough to preserve some of the detached pieces of headband. On further examination of those it started to make sense to me why this visor's headband was nearly lost to time. A bit grizzly but part of the story of this visor..
