Re: New purchase: Einheitsfeldmutze
The photos are deceiving Adrian in some they look almost blue and others are more of a stone grey the seller did not have what branch of the service listed just as an M43 what is your opinon on the cap it self Adrian do I need to drag out my hankie.

Re: New purchase: Einheitsfeldmutze
Although the exterior wool might be authentic as in from a coat or tunic, the lining, ink stamps, buttons etc do not conform to any original M43 that I've seen or handled. What's more, the front of the lining seems to have been opened up at one point then poorly repaired.

Re: New purchase: Einheitsfeldmutze
Thanks for the reply Ben and Adrian as to the buttons Ben I had seen photos of this type as well as buttons made from fruitwood used on M43 caps that were produced and or manufacturerd in Italy. I had noticed that the cap had been crudely resewn around the brim area but tried to look past that detail at the rest of the cap .I always have such a hard time wth these and I should have passed on it but live and learn once it arrives in hand I will take some better photos of it and repost them thank you for taking the time to look at it gentlemen . I guess I can take out my hankie now for a good
Merry Christmas to you both and I wish you and your families a happy new year
Best regards Mark K

Re: New purchase: Einheitsfeldmutze
Merry Christmas Mark!
Some better photos would help a lot when you have time. Looking again, the lining looks like the typical cream coloured rayon you see in visor caps.

Kind regards Mark K

Re: New purchase: Einheitsfeldmutze
I like this cap a lot more now from viewing the new photos.
Still, it's NOT typical of any M43 that I've seen before.
