Bob Lyons Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Here I go again, just landed this one, it gives me much better vibes than the black pipedcap, so here she is for comments, first up, an overall view of the cap.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Very beautiful and rare cap. I think that the rarity is only second to Administrative! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Jeez Bob - another stunner! I don't know how you do it. A bit off topic, but have you ever known an early droop-tail eagle (like on the hat you've posted here and elsewhere) to have flat rather than round attachment prongs?Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lyons Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 Thanks for the comments Paul and Scott, I thought maybe the black piped bad boy had scared scared any comments off!Yes I am very happy with this one, I have only ever seen a couple of them for sale over the years, and this is a beauty.I really admire what Gene has done with his collection, and he has inspired me to try and get a reasonable set of Luftwaffe visors together. (I think I will leave the uniforms to Gene, Scott and Paul ).Regarding the prongs Scott, I have only encountered the round type, Gene (or Jos) would be the guys who would bebetter qualified to answer that one, I wouldn't be surprised if they exist.I am currently at work doing a day overtime, and my wife has to go to the Post Office to pick up a parcel with anotherLuftwaffe visor cap in it, how does rose-pink piping sound, I am looking forward to getting home and getting into that box, will do some photos of that one over the weekend and see what the boys say about it.... and I hate waiting, only 4 hours left before I can get at it.....Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Lyons Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 Thanks very much Jan Arne, it is kinda addictive though! This is the first light green piped visorthat I have physically seen in the flesh, I don't think there would be too many here in Australia.(I am still at work for another 20 minutes, so am almost there for my new parcel....)Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
