Stonemint's Reichsbahn Visors--Part Deux
Michael, I am really posting these for you, as I cannot date the specific eras.
The first one is obviously Kaiserreich, and came in a box with an old Church program from 1914--so I presume this visor pre-dates World War I.
I have seen other visors from the WWI period, but they have bigger railway insignia--any idea as to the time frame this insignia was used?:

Interior--the maker is for one of the most elite tailoring houses in Germany (both WWI and WWII) Mohr & Speyer--they also served as Royal Tailors for the Kaiser:

The next one is obviously Weimar DR--it has a lighter shade of blue. This one has no piping on the crown, so they must have eliminated it after WWI?:
