Hello Lenny,

are there some special points you dont like?
The liner? I compare this cap with this one, not the same but close:

i dont like the construction of your cap or the markings and a few other details

[thefbi]

Ok Lenny, thank you very much.

Other opinions, so its for sure a bad one?

[John Huff]

The lining material is consistant with known fakes that are circulating. The sweat band however appears original. It doesn't really look like the Oak Leaf example much at all....

Thank you John for you statement.

So just for me to learn, where is the difference between the liner of my cap an the liner of this m43?

look close there is a difference

I found an other difference.
I compare a lot of M42 / M43 with my cap.
I think this could be one difference between kopie and original:

[Lenny W]

i think you may have the original and the copy mixed up and an m-42 is a completly different animal al together

[thefbi]

I only compare the button-holes (M42 and M43).

The picture shows the difference between my m43 cap and this m43 cap, both from the same manufacture.
