Currently doing the rounds are these fake helmet visors. Several have appeared on the tat bazaar this year. Usually they are extremely rare items to find. They are often attached to Zuckerman helmets but this sale has one on a warden's helmet. The usual dodgy sellers are flogging these items and they have all the hallmarks (the acid-dip staining being the prime forger's trademark) of the fake First World War tank crew visors.
Prices have been ridiculous on eBay and people are being regularly fleeced. Please do your research, join a few forums or Facebook groups to get up to date regarding a whole host of military fakes and forgeries.

Hello, I have seen a couple of these out there. Are you saying that the visors were actually made during the war and are now being faked, or is the visor a thing of fantasy and was never produced? Also, this seems much more like a World War I item, not World War II. Any insight you can provide about the authenticity of this item would be appreciated. Thank you so much!

There were visors made in the war, but reproductions have been manufactured and are being sold as originals. Although it could be compared to a WWI tanker's splatter mask, it is a WW2-period visor.
