Officers Wool M43 Cap

[Glenn McInnes]

Even in the old photo, the actual wool material of the cap, to me, appears to be the same. WOW.

Indeed!

That one picture is certainly worth more than the thousands of words spent in discussion. I have little doubt that the hat that started this discussion (almost 2 years ago) is the same as the one Bill posted.Now I need him to let me borrow the pic or send a high rez scan of it. This certainly has been a very good discussion.WR Jim

Wicked cool that you found this photo Glenn. As previoulsy stated, about fifteen years ago, I acquired one of these caps that was in a sealed foot locker that included many other German items, including a camo M-40 helmet, and the GIs personal clothing. Billbert saw these items at the time.

Same style eagle possibly but with a bevo cockade?

[Glenn McInnes]

That one could possibly run something along the lines of this one Ben.

[BenVK]

I think you could be right Glenn.

[Glenn McInnes]

I think these photos are a bit more clear.Appears to have the same painted buttons as well.

Quite certainly the cap in question..the officers piping is hardly noticeable other than on the wearers left partially due to the pinch styling of the cap done by the owner and I also think to the low reflective qualities of that style piping..Billbert
and again Kudos to all whom participated in this learning and sometimes humorous thread

[CWP]

That is proof enough for me, thanks for posting that amazing find Glenn!
