I am really septics with the visors with the grey lining.... anyway here is his brother. Scroll down

I am curious why you are so skeptical? Mr. Friedrich Berthold in the linked posts seems to be enthusiastic. Let it be clear, I have the least knowledge in this area, so I am only looking for enough confidence to possibly make a purchase.

F.-B. is THE specialist for black caps. It is a rare and late-war ErEl cap, but if F.-B. says its O.K. it is. So if the price is right (and reflects the loose visor/peak) you can surely go for it.

I can’t say that this visors are bad. I am only skeptical.
These are the only two visors I know in this combination and both are very closely with the serial number. Look at the numbers bevor and after this two visors and show me one in this combination.

Anyway this is only my opinion.

Funny thing is, the lining of the cap I posted is gold ..... but the RZM tag is on a grey lining. Something wrong over here I guess?

Looks like fading of the lining, it appears grey on the outer edge, and would be protected under the sweat band. A close up of the totenkopf would help in determining if it’s a was replaced with an original.

IMHO there is no yellow/gold-coloured lining - is is grey alright, but on the upper part sweat and hairoil caused some discoloration, as it did to the sweatband. Obviously this cap was worn and didn't get better by that. If you look closely you can see the discolorations also above the tag where the lining isn't protected by the sweatband.

I won the auction! Thank you all for the input. I will post pictures as soon as I have him.

Congratulation. How much was the asking price? Br

Well done! Nothing wrong with this Erel visor cap, probably made c. 1939...

My vocabulary has expanded somewhat. Thanks for that.

In the post from FB, the cap does not appear to have a skull insigne, so it must be put on later. Yet it also seems to be an original one and a matching set with the eagle. Am I seeing that correctly?

Please post the cap in detail when you get a chance. Based on the observations made by Arran & ErWeSa and the previous thread with F-B I think you did well. I do however have doubts about the insignia, only because the nasal cavity on the skull looks very large and odd to me. perhaps it's just the photo but coupled with the fact that the insignia was added at a later date it needs more scrutiny.
