Fewegla Black EM/NCO Visor for Review & Comment

[Friedrich-Berthold]

Here, for instance, is a Mueller of late make with some similar traits. Bruce Burnham was going to buy this cap and sent it to me at the start of the last decade.

The cap in this image is identical to the one at the start of said thread.

I am sorry to be a scold, but through the accident of fate and my own fixation on this subject, I have handled these and others.

You are not scolding anyone, only teaching. Which I thank you for.

Per request, here are the SS stamps of the undersides of 2 of these visors:

The stamps are fine. True is also the fact that the fakes are better, but the material you enclose is authentic, as are the caps overall.
I am open to another interpretation, but I have collected these since 1971 and own more than fifty of the things.

This is a fake stamp. It is found in a fake SSTV Montur sold by a notorious high end dealer in fakes. It must be a computer scan of a real one. Other stamps are a hash up. Again, you cannot really tell with these from the electric picture. You need the object, a lupe, and several real caps for comparison.
That's how I do it, at least for myself.

The RZM/SS stamp in the original varies greatly in appearance, but I can spot a fake most of the time.
Again, I have to have it in my hand to do so.
