RMBO or SA ?

[Pascal Bernhard]

M43 on the E-stand :

IMO it's a RMBO M43 with SA eagle, not a SA-OFFICER M43


Not the right SA fabric color and wrong cut, a typical RMBO cut witout front button...

thoughts are welcome

Pascal I believe you're correct.
1) no buttons
2) orange brown colored wool
3) interior material greenish (also found in a brownish).
4) also offered with silver piping for upper pay groups.(also none OR gold).
came out in 1943. ussually maker marked & dated.
also can be found with the side & rear of the ear flap having natural sheep's
wool or fur affixed.
Still might be a period item ,not post war put together. jeff

Think so too, but it's perhaps not post war put together...

I would tend to agree--I haven't seen any photos or documentation that the buttonless field cap was intended to be worn by the SA.
