Thanks for the images Friedrich much obliged. I have been through stonemints fantastic library. I'm learning at the moment and I would never purchase any headgear without putting it on here first for scrutiny by the experts. I had no intentions of purchasing this visor cap but for me at the moment I like to find visor caps and try to highlight what I think is wrong with them, I know it might seem a little A**e backwards.
I'll never be an expert, that obviously takes many years of experience and I don't think I have that long left :-) I think "for me" to know what's right with a visor cap I should first know what's wrong with them.

Kev.

The way to understand these things is to handle in real life the real thing. The electric pictures are better than a stick in the eye, but we play too many grab ass games
with one picture versus another. It is as if no one has ever left the Platonic cave, and we are just blinded by shadows.

I own more of these than the average person. You can be certain that the real item is had only in a very few, concentrated spaces.

And, in contrast to others here, who are obsessed with stacking up as many images of fakes as possible, I proceed from the method of knowing via the original versus
its opposite.

The point of departure is always the real object.

You can indeed spend hours, days even(I know I have), scouring the archived posts of our senior collectors filled with photos of authentic visors. Here is an example currently residing in my collection.
