Just cropped the pics and added them to you above post.
Very sorry to say it is a fake. Several issues with it: air vent and overall construction. Seek a refund.
Cheers, Ade.

Hi Adrian
PMed you!
Cheers
Another thing to consider when looking to buy an M43 is that the insignia is original to the hat and properly attached. Originally attached insignia is at least 50% of an M43's value!!! Though now a few dealers - I won't mention names - would have you believe an M43 Heer with re attached insignia is worth their asking price of $800 - $1000.00 and a Luft close to that.
Thanks Erich for your input - prices do seem high for genuine M43s!. Ive now got 4 genuine M43s in my cap collection but only one of these with non reapplied insignia. Ive got another very special one arriving soon - I wont mention how much that one has cost!! Supply and demand I guess. Long time collectors probably keep hold of all the really mint ones.
