Unusual flying organization visor listed as Weimar frühe Fliegertruppe Luftsportverband Mütze Offizier.

Unreferenced Aero Club Weimar visor:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
Pilots visor for the Deutsche Verkehrsfliegerschule, or DVS. The Deutsche Verkehrsfliegerschule (DVS), German Air Transport School, was a covert military-training organization operating as a flying school in Germany. It began during the Weimar Republic in Staaken, Berlin in 1925 and its head office was transferred in 1929 to Broitzem airfield near Braunschweig.
The DVS was outwardly a flying school for commercial pilots, but in fact became a secret military arm training military aviators for the future Luftwaffe. This training facility grew in importance in the initial stages of Nazi Germany, while camouflaging as a harmless civilian organization (Tarnorganisation), at the time of Germany's rearmament in violation of the Versailles Treaty.

“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
These are often confused with the Deutsche Luftsport Verband, but are actually for the Deutsche Luftfahrt Verband:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
Front and back of DLV cap insignia:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
This one is on Ebay right now. This could be a DLV badge attached post-war to a period civilian marine-related hat:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
Unknown Aero Club Visor:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
AAT means Alter Adler Traditionsverband and was formed in 1927 out of old flyers before 1914. (thanks, Bert)
