Hello, and welcome to the Forum, and thank-you for joining as a Gold Club Member.
I hate to be a downer, but I have yet to see a real Pekuro SS visor to this day (they are commonly faked, however).
Pekuros usually have distinct accordian pleating to the lining, and I am not seeing it here.
Also, the velvet appears loose/wavy, when it should be tight.
Lastly, I have never seen a sweatband tensioner in any Pekuro that I can recall.
However, before making a final judgment, we need to see a 360-degree photos under the sweatband, and close-ups of all piping joinders.

No not the bow!
This is what Stonemint is talking about..
-
Also the silver frosting on the insignia looks like it is created.. Will let more knowledgeable members chime in on that.. Just my opinion!
-
Normally the tensioner ring is seen on postwar caps.. As here on one of my postwar caps..

The skull is fake. The eagle im not sure about.

I would agree with stonemint on all aspects of the visor and his knowledge. I would say next time to post here before you make a pick up might save some heartbreak. To buy a generals ss cap when new at collecting is bold and from auction is a big leap of faith.

Thank you all for the valuable feedback. Learned a lot again. I was not aware of this forum when I bought the visor. I did buy a book, but with the knowledge I have now, it didn't contain the detailed info as shown in this thread.
