Hello,
There are no M41 or M43 DAK tropical cap. The collector designation is M40 tropical cap, the designation at the time was Tropenfeldmütze mit schirm. Soutached (at the beginning) and non soutached (at the end) examples were used within the DAK, the Panzerarmee Afrika and the 1. Italienische armee and after the surrender of the axis forces in Tunis in May 1943, tropical caps were used mostly anywhere the german army fought. This one has a chance but internal photos of the airvents would help to determine authenticity.
Is the eagle replaced, as there are loose threads visible ?
Is there stitchings on the inside where the eagle is ?
Thanks

Hello again,
Thanks for the additional photos.....
For me it's a nice example with sweatband and no soutache as produced from the summer of 1942.
didn't you keep photos of the other example with triangular insignia ? they're also nice
Thanks

Hello,
It's a great cap with triangle Hoheitsabzeichen to speed up the production process and rayon cockade as expected...

As stated, technically it's an M40 and appears to be a very nice original.
