Luftwaffe EM Summer White Visor Hat Red Piped for Flak - opinions please

[Troy Tempest]

Good evening gents. I have never bought a hat before, but this one has taken my eye! As I know nothing of value about headwear, can anyone give me any thoughts on this please? Is there a rough market value for such a hat?

I am not a fan... My area of experience is not headgear, but I am not a fan of the sweat shield and etc.

Hi Paul

Thanks for your input mate, can I ask you what it is about the sweat band that you don't like? I am on a steep learning curve This is the description on the site:

Original summer white top visor hat with aluminum eagle and cockade. Red piped for flak. Black leather chin strap. Inside clear celuloid maker label sewn in top., "Meister Klasse". Leather sweat band front right and left side leather split, front center, right and left rear sides and rear center intact. White top age yellowing. Overall very good for a hard to find summer type visor.

Again, I am not a head gear specialist. THe shield looks like it is made of plastic. It may just be the photos. I would love to hear the input of others.
