Luftwaffe Officer Schirmmütze
I picked up this visor from my local antique shop this past Saturday. I had been looking at it for a few months waiting till I had enough extra funds to actually bring it home. I’ve done what research I can on visor caps in general, but am no where near confident in determining with 100% certainty its authenticity. I tried taking the best pictures I could in my limited space so my apologies if they are not up to standard. The day I brought it home I spent quite a while looking it over, and I noticed the faint printing on the sweatband, eventually making it out as the Erel insignia. From that point I did my research on the lovely forum you guys have built here, checking out any other confirmed Erel made caps. From my limited knowledge, my visor seemed to hit those points, as the eagle and the interior stitching both look correct to me. I’ve tried taking photos of the critical points and in as decent of lighting as I could manage. Any opinions or advice from you guys would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
