OK John,
Here's one with a little extra for you

[SMP]

Not really a M43, but what the heck !

[John Hodgin]

One with handsewn insignia, also dated 44. Hope it is nice enough for you Raoul.

Here is mine in an old thread. My first weeks wages from work were spent on it

I'm afraid mine doesn't quite measure up to these great examples, but here it is anyway. 44 dated. Sorry about the lighting.

Bring them... Thats the condition i love.

One with handsewn insignia, also dated 44. Hope it is nice enough for you Raoul.

And another -- unusual for a late war hat in having a partial leather sweatband. I personally think these were for female helferin -- but that is just my opinion.

Johnny,

Would the female helferin version have the side ear pulls?

Any chance of seeing details of them on that example and could you email or PM me with the RBNr of it.

With regards Bryon (B. N.) Singer
PS Beautiful examples everyone!!!

Opinions on M43

Here is a cap I picked up at the 07 SOS.

Wanted this one here for reference. Insignia.

[John Hodgin]

Lining. Perhaps it is better with the mark obscured.

Nice cap John.
On Friday I saw a M-43 with machine sewn insignia
on "OakleafMilitaria's" table. I went back Sat. morning to buy it and
it had been sold. Anyone know who bought it? What about the two Luft M-43 sitting on the shelf at RelicHunter? Any thoughts?

Thanks.
