Hi Raffaello, sorry to say it is 100% bad. It is an American made fake. Looks at the middle of swastika where the arms join together, see how they are disjointed and don't come together correctly? This fake is done is many forms: Pz, wire etc. All are bad.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Bryon, .... Have a look at this old thread from 2003 in which I show more of this cap.

It is a fact that most Heer M-43 caps were reissued to the Waffen-SS.............in the las 50 years.
