It doesn't look like it has any bias tape in the scallops. Is it not visible in the pictures, or is it absent?

I like the field expedient adjustment at the back. These caps sometimes are missing features you'd expect on a field cap, and are made more like civic types - but usually, police M43's mirror those used in combat formations.

It looks to have had a piping on the top , green or silver ?
IMO a good cap but with some work on it , by theater for example ?
The stamping says "Trieste" ?

Nick, I see what you mean by a reconstructed top seam but it looks OK to me. I don't think any piping was stripped out, but hands on one could be sure.
