ww2 german infantry nco visor cap help needed

[Halo1981]

hello,

Please could some of you give me your option on this visor cap. I believe its original but i know some people are making very good copies now.

Please see pictures and thank you for your help.

Looks like a period cap. There are, however several unusual features: I can't quite see what colour the centerband is - looks quite grey to me. It must be a private purchase cap - the lining and the shape are not typical for a stadard issue one. There are no stamps on the inside of the sweatband (neither unit stamp nor "Geprüft" stamp which a private purchase EM/NCO- cap should have). Could of course be one of the caps without these stamps - or an Älteste or Huesken cap, they seem to have made also EM/NCO cap "repros" Paying members can have a look at Älteste caps here: Alteste Berliner Fakes some Huesken caps are here: Sold today for 25,000 euro!. Let's wait for the "Senior Members" for a final verdict.

I agree with Wolfgang. Cap band looks charcoal gray in the photos--is it possible to take a photo in natural light?
