Wanted to show some visors I had when I collected them!

 

This being a new forum I figure as it grows collectors may want to see stuff!

 

Many of us collectors can show things so collectors can learn!

 

Way back in the begining of forums I helped Bob Rogers at World Military

as a moderator of Collectors Corner!

 

So I went to friends that had large or interesting stuff and took pictures to share!

 

Or auctions or sales or shows!

 

I took a lot of pics!

 

Being 65 means I have seen a lot of stuff and people! I started collecting when I was 12!

 

My dad was ww2 vet and they were every where,they brought back lots of goodies!

 

You older collectors know that

 

Not a great or even good typist or speller! But you will get the picture!

 

I will show over time some large amounts of hats and such!

In all my yrs I only pulled 3 SS visors out of wood work!

 

That should tell you how hard real SS stuff is to find!

 

I have some better ones to show later

 

This one had no skull! One on it is junk,just for show!

 

We had John Pepera in area and I knew him before he collected!

 

I think I have pic some where of his 20 SS officers visors

 

He was a player in the collecting word! Had 25 party pins and

is in the books! Proto type stuff!

 

He passed a few ys ago

Nice stuff. I've seen photos of SS wearing Heer eagles on both caps and sleeves, so it did happen, whether from necessity or taste.

 

A nice infantry visor is on my bucket list, I've wanted one since I started collecting 20 years ago, just haven't gotten around to in. Allgemeine SS with first pattern insignia and a nice GJ are on the list, too, but if I can add just an infantry one some day, I'll be content
