Side caps and helmets are great to collect and close to the price point of visor caps. Stick with it, but be patient - They are becoming very hard to find with many repros circulating. Do your homework and don't make any quick decisions - I was lucky enough to buy these both in-person so I could check out all the important features myself
@@willmorrison5341 Hi Will. No I'm still collecting. I collect by the color of the piping. I also have an extensive collection of German army uniforms, parade tunics, overcoats and forrestry uniforms. I'm 71 now and can tell you alot about what to look out for.
@@donaldfischer1428 Completely understandable, collecting is a life long addiction for most of us. As someone with 30+ years' experience, you think I provided an accurate overview of basic visor cap features?
Two nice examples. Keep collecting and handle as many originals as you can. Shopping is learning.
Eventually I’d like to get into visor caps. So far it’s been mostly side caps and helmets.

Sheesh indeed! Thanks for the comment!
I have collected visor caps over the last 30 plus years. My collection would rival most.
I'm always looking for visor caps... Any that you're looking to get rid of???
