SS Visor Cap
G’day all,
I saw this visor cap at a militaria fair today and wondered what you fellas thought. I think the insignia is bad, the eagle and particularly the skull appear to lack detail and to my untrained eye both appear to be cast. The cap itself seems to display some signs of age, a few moth nips here and there, a bit of dust and dirt in joins etc.. but the sweatband displays no sign of ageing and the celluloid diamond is soft, supple and crystal clear. The visor itself has some damage, it almost looks as though something hot has melted it! What do you gents think? Please excuse the quality of the pics, I only had my phone to take photos with.
Cheers, Dave.
