I was fortunate enough to pick this up today. My wife was kind enough to get me an early birthday present.

This is a nice visor in solid condition with loads of character and a fantastic shape. Nice bullion adler and wreath.

But… it is not mint. That is why I like it so much. Some stitching is lose, part of the silver piping is missing on the rear, it has sweat stains and gunk on the liner, sweat band and even on the under side edge (where the inside and outside of the cap band meet). This wonderful visor was definitely ridden hard but has held up beautifully. Not a desk jockeys visor for sure.

I am unfamiliar with the maker (distributor?) Max Lindner of Munich. And if they were a quality shop. The fabric does not appear to be doeskin and if it is Tricot it is extremely fine. I can take a macro photo if anyone cares regarding the weave.

Here is another from Oakleaf

Would love to hear your views.
