Hello to everyone on the forum i have recently joined in order to educate myself about M43 caps and how to start a collection. I have spent many hours already looking through the previous posts. I am looking to get a M43 Heer and have sourced this one.
A little about myself I am teacher and have recently taken into schools my WW1 helmet collection finding this incredibly rewarding. I have moved towards WW2 so if any of you can give your opinion on this example that would be very much appreciated.
PS I hope the photos come through

Hi Matt, my only concern would be that "M43" marking.

Cheers, Ade.

thanks again for the feedback here is a second cap from the same source, no clear ink stamps this time but green stitching around the buttons. The wear inside looks OK to me. Good one or bad?
many thanks

The insignia is replaced for sure.

Hang on and wait for the perfect one, hopefully not as long as I got to wait!

Cheers, Ade.

My old m43 is for sale at "nomanslandmilitaria". It is salty but real & nicely priced.
