A picker friend up north told me this visor existed and if anyone here knows me, know that i collect chaplain helmets. I know this is a WW1 US officer visor and I do know that the cross is a period WW1 cross and the eagle insignia is correct. The insignia is in a Non regulation position and there no photographs showing a US visor with a cross, there is evidence of the Germans doing it in WW1 and WW2. Could a Chaplain followed suit and do it? Per regulation the Chaplain were not to have a cross on their over seas cap but they did it against regulation. I know it will be opinions and conjecture but could this be real?
Pickers pictures from a cell phone, he will pick it up this weekend for me if I want it.
