?? Norwegian army guys.
The markings on the buttons are throwing me though, I dont recognise the motif.
Just a suggestion.

Re: Mystery M43 (but not really)
I have some Cold War era Soviet visor caps with near identical printing in the inside - that (and the Cyrillic) lead me to believe its Soviet or Soviet satellite. But I wasn't aware such countries used M43 type caps...

Swedish or Norwegian I believe.

Re: Mystery M43 (but not really)
Hi mabrgo , i picked up a m43 of the same style and colour a few years ago , from what i could find out its a bulgarian wartime m43. this cap appears to be missing a small cast brass/gilt rampant lion national badge to the crown. from what i could discover these caps were popular with armour and arty units of the bulgarian army. its a nice peice of axis militaria , a much overlooked area of militaria collecting where bargins can still found..hope this has been of some help . .hdpp33/ paul ..
