SS M43 Dachau type
Hello, this cap is being represented as a late war Dachau depot SS M43. All the Dachau type m43 caps I have seen are the Waffen SS Panzer model black variety with the "Jolly Roger" skull trap. The only thing in common with the Dachau caps on this one is the cardboard visor and the grey herringbone liner. In fact I think the embroidered insignia is of the early war version if I'm correct. has anyone seen one like this. Does it stand a chance off being a good one. Any help and opinions are appreciated. thanks, Al

This one looks a bit of a mis-match to me. Just having viewed some originals online there are differences in terms of the skull & eagle. I also worry when I see a field cap that looks as fresh as this.
Still though it looks reasonably good quality for one of these. If the price I was low I wouldn’t put someone off of it to add to a display.

Espenlaub Militaria has one in the archives of a gaberdine version of the "M43/M44" with similar 2 piece construction and no rear seam.

I don't see anything wrong here, trap is authentic.

Thanks Sid, I value your opinion.

First 3 caps in the Russian forum are fake.
I would want to see more pics from the thread starter cap - more details.

That does not bode well for me as I won the auction and the cap is on hold. Is there anything in particular about the cap that raises suspicion or is it the overall cap? What in particular needs to be photographed in more depth?
I also compared it to this cap in post #5 of the same ilk with a different trap insignia. Thank you for anymore insight you can provide

I can see some minor differences in construction between the M43 in the first post and the one from post #5 in the link you have shown.
I've highlighted them with red. Absolutely no knowledge about these, but just trying to help...
It does look convincing..
Hope you get some answers on the questions above!
