"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

I walked away from the hobby for a year to pay off a large purchase, and was hoping to pick up an infantry visor myself, but now that I can finally wade back in the prices are ridiculous. Guess I'll be sitting twiddling my thumbs until the market comes back down...which it certainly will.
Brig, officer or NCO?
Patience is a virtue in this hobby--I have had to literally wait 40 years to find a hat I wanted (and am still waiting to find some others....)

I still say you get the most "bang for the buck" with visors.
First, they don't take up that much room and are easy to display.
Unlike daggers/medals, they age well and are more resistant to handling over the years (excluding those d@mn moths).
Further, they can "stand alone" and do not need to be completed/added to in any way (ie, unlike a tunic, you don't need to buy medals, a belt, dagger hangers, etc).
Also, they literally come in all shapes/sizes/qualities, each one being hand-made (unlike East German visors).
Even the interiors can by as aesthetically attractive as the exteriors.
Just my .02 cents....
