Mike Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) I've had this for a while now ..Early pattern Erel TENO NCO Visor ....As I mentioned to Nick , at first I thought the Visor was some sort of Plastic by the way it flattened out and lost it's shape .In this Pic , I'm holding it in place to give it the "curve" Edited November 26, 2006 by Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) Because of the Visor "flattening out" the inside band has buckled , probably from someone trying to bend it perm back into shape ....that's why the cockade looks recessed ...who knows' , maybe because of how it was stored for years ?

Mike Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 The Visor looks original to the Cap ..I can't find any old or extra thread holes ...it tight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 If you put the cap down on the Table ...that Visor flattens right out. Here you can see some curve that's left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTZ Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) Mike I am stumped. The visors is right as rain so I have no doubts that that is the original visor on there. Hard to tell the material from the pics but I would say pressed paper. The late war TR visors with pressed paper looked much different but maybe this was Lubstein?s civil version of a crusher ?type? visor. It does look a lot like the pressed paper material used on Soviet visors. You said it was very flexible? Edited November 26, 2006 by NTZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 It's strong but , you can easily flex it ...when you let go , it pops back flat. I've never seen anything like it on TR caps. Could this be some sort of experimental visor they (Erel) tried out and gave up on ? No sign at all of the visor being added or changed ..I told ya it was a strange one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTZ Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Pressed paper would almost make sense. The materials on civil visors were ?most? of the time slightly lesser than on military. Look at sweatbands for example. You mostly see Alkor, pressed paper and Ersatz instead of leather. Plus Erel, Schellenberg. Kaps and a few other makers did use pressed paper visors toward the wars end. Maybe this is an early attempt at testing it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
