Early Gau visor at auction

[jlhubb]

Hi All - I came across this early Gau visor offered for sale in an upcoming European auction. The fabric of the visor is not what I would expect. The description says doeskin but the material looks a little rougher than doeskin. The visor and cords look okay. The interior photo seems questionable and the description say the RZM tag is missing. Looking through the Vol 3 of the headgear series, and the 'authentic' thread for Gau visors on this forum, I don't find any thing that is similiar.
The overall construction and color of the fabric and piping are quite similiar to a visor sold at the recent C @T auction (lot 36), and that auction was full of fakes.
Thank you for taking a look, and any comments or thoughts are welcome! John

IMHO this is one of the Huesken "repros", see here:

Sold today for 25,000 euro!

Cap cords (z-wise/reverse twisted), sweatband, shape, fabric etc. make it quite clear to me.

I agree w/ Wolfgang, ground-up fake, and most likely a Huesken special.

Amazing how many 1980s/1990s fakers created fake sweatstains (they apparently used tea).
In all my years of collecting, I have never seen sweat stains of the pattern that is typical of this one.
