Here is my 3rd Visor I added to my collection. Luftwaffe Signals. Maker - Kurschner u. Mutzenmacher Genossenschaft in 1938. Unit Marked I. K.G. 153 (KG 77 in 1939). Really Nice EM/NCO Signals Visor unit marked for a combat unit. It is marked I./K.G. 153 with the cap dated 1938. At the time the unit was flying JU-86’s. In 1939 the unit was converted to I./K.G. 77 in Prague after the Czech. occupation and began using Do-17Z’s. After the Battle Of Britain it converted to JU-88A’s. Just one good size mothing area as seen in the photo on the caps left side.

I can see why you visor guys like these pieces of headwear. Much like daggers and swords there is much to learn and research.
Again….Thanks Wagriff, Map, Bob Lyons, Stonemint & Jphilip for your opinions as I sought this one out along with the other 2 pieces.

Cheers!

Here is my new Luftwaffe Flak Visor. A clean one and an early model by Robert Lubstein - 1936. I have thrown in a few of my Flak Items as well around the visor in a few photos. Thanks again Map, Wagriff, Stonemint, Bob Lyons & Jphilip for your helping me review prior to my deal.

Hello,

One of my new visors. Not a super coveted one but in really nice shape. The eagle still has nearly all of it’s original frosting. No damage that I can find and no mothing A bit of trivia. The visor was manufactured on 21 June 1944 in Hamburg. This date is one day after 425 B-17’s bombed the oil refineries at Hamburg. Another reason I liked this one is that my Oma grew up just miles from Hamburg.

Kudos & much appreciation to MAP, Stonemint, Bob Lyons, Wagriff & Jphilip for helping me behind the scenes review this 1 of 3 visors I have added to my collection. This is my first visor purchase in 33 years of collecting. The forum really helps as I did a lot of reading first and looking through threads. Visors is not my area of expertise as we can’t know it all. It helped to verify with the Visor Brain Trust before I made a deal.

Thanks! Rossi

Fortunes Of War Militaria made an update today to the Good Luck Flag and Senninbari Categories of its website. In the "Senninbari Belts" Category we added a well-made custom tiger artwork one-thousand stitch belt with tie strings. In the "Good Luck Flag" Category, we added a nicely signed and dedicated flag.

A friend gave me a old silverware box a few years ago and that gave me an idea.
Make a display. I sanded stained reglued the box. Then I inlaid the id tag and a piece of the box that contained the grenades (I think). Then draw the title of item. I found both of ground dug items on ebay. Two coats of stain four coats of water base poly sanding and steel wool between. Also can’t forget use grenade pull for handle!

I am not sure if this badge is original or not. I have spent most of my time getting to know the RZM period enamel badges and I think I have gotten pretty good at determining the originality of that type. This badge is not RZM marked or Maker marked but simply GES GESCH. That is not completely unusual for early period badges as far as I can tell. A little concerned that there is no Maker mark though. The font is different compared to the standard RZM style I am familiar with but that also can vary in early badges from what I have seen. The pin looks ok its round at the base so that seems ok. The material looks a little bright to me like it is of an incorrect metal or maybe too new I’m not sure. The enamel looks a little less then detailed to my eyes although that’s why I post on this forum and ask these questions because I’m still a novice. My hunch is that it is not original. But I am hoping it is because I would like to buy it Any help would be great thanks!!
