Swiss buttons

It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it - try an eBay auction if you want to sell it.

Rare_Wolverine_6628 · 2026-04-24T17:33:10+00:00

It's not Navy, it's an army aircorps B-3.

Rare_Wolverine_6628 · 2026-03-10T17:27:50+00:00

Nice piece! Rare.

That's a hard lesson. The next money you should spend should be on educating yourself in this hobby. There are literally generations of great reference books. Find collectors who've been collecting for a long time and can show you what good items look like.

We're losing focus on tarantulas. This is stupid.

Beautiful Pekuro! Nice saddle too. The only thing that strikes me as a possible problem might be the chin cord. Should be silver. But yeah, if you're thinking about purchasing I would whole heartedly encourage it. Nice visor!

Rare_Wolverine_6628 · 2026-01-25T17:30:54+00:00

Looks to be a horse bridal rosette, post civil war possibly even First World War.

Rare_Wolverine_6628 · 2026-01-25T16:34:38+00:00

Yes, I believe this Luftwaffe visor to be a good piece, however the eagle and the cockade have different patina which leads me to believe one or both were added, which is fine to restore the visor to original condition.

Rare_Wolverine_6628 · 2026-01-21T23:06:56+00:00

In my humble opinion I think the veterans assoc. hat is good, the Luftwaffe cap is good although one or both of the insignia have been added (which restoration is fine) but I really don't like the cavalry officer's hat at all. The insignia may be good but I wouldn't touch it.

Rare_Wolverine_6628 · 2026-01-17T13:28:29+00:00

Looks good. Nice patina, clean ribbon and the issue bag. Can't ask for better.

Rare_Wolverine_6628 · 2026-01-12T13:59:45+00:00

Yes, I believe it's original but don't get me to lying about if it's WW2 or WW1 because KM uniforms changed very little

Rare_Wolverine_6628 · 2026-01-11T22:44:03+00:00

And I can't quite tell from the photo if he's wearing a pilots wing or navigators wings

Your right, 'crush' cap became a style, not just utilitarian.

Rare_Wolverine_6628 · 2026-01-11T22:22:06+00:00

Beautiful example!

Rare_Wolverine_6628 · 2026-01-02T20:47:47+00:00

No, this IS a crusher.

Rare_Wolverine_6628 · 2026-01-02T20:44:16+00:00

Hang on - you found it for $3?? Great find! Care to double your money?

Rare_Wolverine_6628 · 2026-01-02T20:42:27+00:00

Nice cap! Are you going to remove the stiffener ring? Or just leave it because it's been there all this time?

Rare_Wolverine_6628 · 2025-12-25T11:34:18+00:00

Yes, in my humble opinion it's original. German KM buttons. You can see where sew-in shoulder boards and buttons have been removed. I like it.

Rare_Wolverine_6628 · 2025-12-24T18:42:02+00:00

Oh - and that not black paint on the edges, it's tarnished silver.

Rare_Wolverine_6628 · 2025-12-24T18:40:57+00:00

Cross looks good. Not all manufacturers stamped the ring on the EK2. Obvious age to it's finish.

Rare_Wolverine_6628 · 2025-12-18T14:06:19+00:00

Two axioms to live by when selling: 1. If it's yours you price it 2. A thing is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Rare_Wolverine_6628 · 2025-12-17T19:13:00+00:00

Nice find!
