Here are some pictures of my Panzer M42 caps. I realize these are the least desirable among Panzer collectors but I still think they're cool. They are also rare when compared to the M43 and M38 caps because of their limited production time. I believe both are original examples but views to the contrary are welcome.
This first cap I got from George Peterson about 10-12 years ago. He just picked it up in russia and offered it to me. It came from a movie company and had been modified. Originally it sported a chinsey looking bill which I removed.There were also 2 holes off to the right of the original button holes, I suspect so it would fit a smaller head. Also the grommets were squirreled with and the insignia was removed.
Here are some pics.
