NSDAP Visor Cap

[Pinky1978]

Hello friends,
I would like to know your opinios about this NSDAP Visor Cap. Is it real?
I asked seller about the RZM label but he said me he doesn´t want to check it because the sweatband is in bad conditions and can break it.

Seller wants 900€.

Thanks in advance.

IMO a nice, original Ortsgruppenleiter cap. Good to see that the cap makers were not always working perfectly - the visible seam under the upper piping of the cap band should not be visible.

Agree--no problems with this one.

The only visor cap this dealer offers I do not agree with (only took a quick look) is the CRIHA Official LW cap - this is a Janke repro. The rest seems O. K.

Dear ErWeSa, thanks for the information

Dear Stonemint, thanks for the information.

Hello, I still want to buy this nsdap visor cap, but I see that the cockade hasn't the black enameled swastika. Is it possible that the enamel came off?
Do you see another defect appart from the visible seam under the upper piping of the cap band?

Thanks a lot.

I'd not say that the visible seam is a defect, it happened from time to time. As to the cockade: I think it is just dusty/partly oxydized (as is the wreath) - could be cleaned of course but only with the utmost care.

Thanks ErWeSa for your answer

No problem, agree with ErWeSa, the enamel is just oxidized by the zinc of the oak leaves. It's definitely a period cockade!
