    The 2nd of three visors I picked up at the Max. This one spoke to me. Kept going back to it at the show. Something about it....

    Overall condition is excellent with light honest wear. Great form with swept back peak. No moth nips and unfortunately no maker / distributor marks.

    I already had a nice Kavallerie visor but thought it would be nice to pair up the two with the different traditions badges.

    Thanks Bill. That is my feeling too.

    I got this and another slightly larger case from the Max from a dealer who wanted to "move" them. Got a nice price the pair. They are made by Skipper Greenwade.

    D@mn, M, you really scored at the MAX! Killer swept-back peak (and I like the fact that there is plenty of room for the eagle)....

    Very nice cap. I particularly like the caps which are partly handsewn - not every cap maker had the specialised sewing-machines which could sew sweatband and visor/peak to the cap at the same time (neither do I, unfortunately).

    Thanks Chris.

    If it only had bullion insignia....

    Got it from the guys at the Dog Faced Soldiers. Really nice gents and we worked out a nice deal on it.

    Also the "nutty grey brown" color is different and appealing.

    I went into the Max having no inclination to purchase any visors and walked out with three! LoL. The other is just a basic Bavarian Officers visor but has a nicer lighter blue doe skin fabric with a nice shape to it.

    Just a second - a minute ago I looked at the interior shot of the cap. What struck me is that the visor/peak itself seems to have lots of holes for the stitches that secure(d?) it to the cap, whereas the sweatband was handsewn to it with bigger stitches in the area of the visor/peak. Is it possible that the sweatband was replaced? It doesn't look like the period Ersatz-material ones.

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm always happy to be corrected but in hand it is original and period to me.

    The Ersatz sweatband while slightly different than more typical Ersatz examples is very old, has perfect period wear and shows no indication that it is not original to the visor (to me). Up close under a microscope you can clearly see dry aged related cracking to the rubberized (or whatever it is) coating where it folds over in a few places thus exposing the underlying threads (which looks like a course jute) or damaged from sweat.

    The "large" hand sewn stitches are not in the visor /peak area. These actually go from the visor chin cord buttons all the way around the back. The tighter "machine" stitching is only in the brim area and also has lots of age related dirt/lint embedded in it. (could not get a photo of that. Sorry)

    Now that you say it, I can see it, too. Should have looked more closely at all the pictures. Interesting though that everything was sewn to the cap by a sewing machine at the front and, where this would be possible more easily, by hand. If we only knew how/why they did it!

    Certainly no worries for the questions. The photos can be deceiving as you can not clearly see where the stitching begins or ends. Add to that the chin cord button split pins on the inside do look like the pins used for the Korkaden/Wreath.

    I'm glad you liked it. That is all that matters While just a generic visor it has the perfect look to it. And as Stony said, a lot of room for the traditions Adler

    And since you mentioned it, kind of digging the non-traditional sweatband. It really isn't the cheaper Ersatz materials we normally see. It is actually nice quality with some (now faded) embossing you often see on leather sweatbands.
