I thought we had a thread on this topic, but apparently not, so lets start one.
By extreme, I am referring to the "rake" of the visor in relation to the band.
Please feel free to post any visors/period photos showing "extreme rake".
I have not seen any TR makers that allowed one to select the angle of the visor.
However, Italian makers did allow for such a choice. Here is a page from the brochure of an Italian maker showing the various visor angles available (courtesy of Wolfgang/Erwesa).
(The least you could order is 25 degrees; the max 76 degrees):
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
This is still the most extreme-angled visor I have seen to date--it is on the same plane as the band (which would be a 90-degree rake according to the Italian guide above):
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
Thanks to Erwesa for pointing out this thread. I probably would have missed it. If you wanted to see differnt angle rakes here is mine on an Artillery visor made by Alfred Krebs. Based on the information Erwesa provided me, Krebs moved to this address from 1939 to 1943.
