KM-KA Officer Visor
This visor has already been posted in #64 & #65 of the following specific thread on Coastal Artillery items - see here:
http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...tillery&page=5
While the period authenticity of this cap has separately been confirmed to me by a WAF member, and I personally have no doubts whatsoever in that regard, I am nonetheless seeking comments on the matter.
Thanks and regards,
John

Insignia may have been re-applied, but I like it as being an original Coastal Art cap.

Thank you "Gebirgsjaeger", and also "km-spain" (of course it was you to whom I referred in my note above!).

Hi John,
I love it. Here's a photo showing similar caps in wear.
A question for my own eduction. Are the small gilt buttons that hold the chin strap in place the double push-pin type or the type with an eyelet for sewing on?
Best regards,
---Norm

Thanks for your posting of the photo, Norm.
In response to your question, the small buttons are the type with an eyelet and are sewn to the cap.

Thanks John. Good to know about the buttons - just what I expected.
For the record, the two officers in the photo are my Dad on the left as 1. MNO in Trieste and on the right is Oberleutnant Robert Wanner who was also a talented musician and composed a well-known Navy song of the era called "Wenn das Schifferklavier an Bord ertönt".
Best regards,
---Norm
