Help with M43 Cap Appreciated...

[bigmacglenn]

Greetings Friends,
I would like to know if this is a wartime manufactured M43 or if it's a postwar-era piece...
I'm hoping the stamp will be helpful here for the experts...Thanks to all for your input!
cheers, Glenn

Hi Glenn--
Hat is a postwar DDR piece, made by the VEB successor to Erel, called Emhage.

I wonder what Emhage stands for - M H G - Mützen Herstellungs Gesellschaft?

[Wilhelm Saris]

M (Em) H (ha) G (ge) = Mützen- und Handschuhmacher Genossenschaft

Hello Wim,

thank you! You're omniscient!

[Wilhelm Saris]

Omniscient? I know about things, just bits and pieces!
If I indeed was ominscient I would be the Allmighty or
at least his son. I am just a very tiny part of the whole!
We, all together, have some knowledge. Just like that!
