So where is the back up proving the plastic visors?

This whole thread has been a complete waste of time.
What is the intention from Redcoat? The thread indeed is a waste of time!
I doubt he ever has seen any old TR manufacturing regulation and old cataloques....
See post 4 from stonemint and 13 from Coleman.
Since February 7 Redcoat did not answer and in my opinion he is just drawing
up onto us! I doubt he knows about the expressions Vulkanfiberschirm, Lackschirm
or lackiert or whatever!!

“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”

This cap was part of the uniform worn by the SS. The SS were Hitler's personal bodyguard and the elite of the Nazi private army. When the Nazis came to power, the SS rapidly gained in strength, becoming the key instrument of terror and control. On Hitler's orders they murdered leaders of the rival SA during the 'Night of the Long Knives' (30 June 1934). The SS took charge of the concentration camps in June 1934 and gradually consolidated them into five permanent complexes. By 1936 their leader Heinrich Himmler had also taken control of the police, including the notorious Gestapo.
History note
Erel were one of the best military cap makers in German and numbered amongst their customers Hermann Wilhelm Goering.

I'll try and upload a photograph later. Similarly, I have come across other references to `plastic' peaks' elswhere.
Similarly, this is a Waffen SS Generals Cap on display at The Imperial War Museum, another one that does not meet the with many `expert' oppinions. As can see, not only is the cap unusual but the IPW uite clearly differentiate between the materials used between the cap above and this one which theys state is `Fibor'. I hope you find this of interest!
