Luftwaffe Schirmmutze

Post by mark bogers »

Dear Members,

I´m searching a nice QUALITY Luftwaffe visor cap for EM/NCO. It needs to be in red piping because of my Flak impression :mrgreen:

I saw some sites who sell it, but they're all Bundy style Schirmmutze with high front :|

What about Spearhead's visor cap? Are they OK? Or do you know another seller who makes it (better)

Many thanks! :D

Hmmm, someone I know has one Luftwaffe Schirmmutze from this german guy, I hope he changed the top, because it was really to high (like the BW ones)

You know, crusher style schirmmutze was strictly prohibited, but nevertheles still done by some soldiers. ;)

The best hats are from Janke.
Then after that Erel,after that the second line from Erel sold by Deutscheorden.
Forget Spearhead,and other asian sellers they just can't make them as the Germans.

Just my 2 cents.

The best repro is an original...

That's why I sade: 'but still done by some soldiers' ;) It's fine for the impression on the photo and it looks quite good, but I want to use it for the 'Ausgehanzug' (walking out), so visor one is better for me.

Deutschorden has very good hats. I bought Sommermutze for EM/NCO's and I'm very satisfied.
