Wear and repairs are no longer a sign of originality, reinactors have worn items for years causing actual wear to reproduction items. I’d suggest reading older posts regarding M-43’s and it will show you what to look for.

Thank you very much CBH for your opinion, where can I find those publications?
Just use the search Function of the Forum, and search for other Posts about M-43´s i suppose.
Thanks Adravor!
Having taken a look at the photos here are my thoughts:
Insignia is not original to the cap having been badly sewn on.
The lining appears to be original wartime rayon.
The woollen tab re-inforcement behind the button holes is not a normal feature.
The wool of the body of the cap lacks the usual features of recycled material used in the construction of these caps. I cannot see any bits of other cloth in the mixture.
I would pass on it if offered to me.
Cheers, Ade.
