Kreigsmarine Donald Duck w/ White Cover

[71Mach]

An older collector has this Kreigsmarine Cap ….let me snap some pics to post. Curious if this is WW2 or post war or even repro?? The cap is dated 1943, size 57 and maker
Marked. Any feedback , opinions or concerns would be appreciated . Thanks

I don't like the fabric and even less the sweatband - if this is pigskin (hard to see) then it is one of the badly made Latvian fake/repro caps.
What is the reddish material one can see in the picture? Never seen anything like that in a period cap before (KM is, however not my special field!).
Better pictures would help.

Agree with Erwesa--it is a Latvian repro.

The first thing that I noticed was that the Tally's Lettering is too thin compared to an original...
