pvon Posted February 15, 2019 #1 Posted February 15, 2019 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! PVON
pvon Posted February 15, 2019 Author #2 Posted February 15, 2019 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 PVON
pvon Posted February 15, 2019 Author #3 Posted February 15, 2019 I see collectors showing junk from ebay,gun broker and all the crap joints! Asking is it real!!!!!!!! I was around as many others were and SS was not easy! PVON
pvon Posted February 15, 2019 Author #4 Posted February 15, 2019 Best find I ever got was found by my dad! Go figure! He brought home a box from the old timers AAclub! Alchol An??? In it was a stunning SS officers visor andSS cuff title Reich Furung! And something else marke Flossenburg! A camp!Death camp Will show pics when I get to them! Army sword,visor and more! Everything for 600.00 He says the guy has the tunic!!!! I chased after it for yrs and never got it! I believe it got sold in a bar!!!!!!!!!!!!! PVON
pvon Posted February 15, 2019 Author #6 Posted February 15, 2019 Now the SS officers visor I got from my dad had a army eagle on it! Right away,I showJohn it and he pulls out nco with same eagle! PVON
Brig Posted February 18, 2019 #7 Posted February 18, 2019 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
pvon Posted August 12, 2019 Author #15 Posted August 12, 2019 more always liked these! Medical officer! PVON
