Old Michael Janke Reproduction WW2 German Waffen SS Wool Brim Crusher (Schirmmütze) Visor
This Visor was sold to a friend via auction as original(Its that good) in fact it almost fooled me. The quality of these old Michael Janke reproduction visors is very scary for collectors and a dream come true for shady dealers trying to make a fortune off these old reproductions selling them as original. Because of the original materials used in Janke’s early caps and his perfect construction of the overall product the closest most collectors can come to owning a five digit SS cap is being lucky enough to find one of these rare old Janke’s. Because of the quality and rarity of these old run Janke visors if you are lucky enough to find one they can be quite expensive. Michael Janke still makes visors to this day but you can bet all that original wool and piping has dried up decades ago and his caps start at over $270. The materials and insignia are nearly laughable compared to the heydays.
This is the perfect display piece or the ultimate reenactors headgear.
Size 56.
The skull is missing a prong but holds snug to the cap.
The sweat band is still soft and flexible.
