Luft Officer m-43. Why so hard to find?

[Colorado]

I have never actually seen one, but that one looks as I would expect Thanks for sharing.

Richard,

Sure looks nice. Will you be able to take better pics, preferably in natural light? Post more if you can too, and if it ever comes up for sale or trade I'd be very interested.

Gene,

I will try. Lately I have been having a hard time getting photos I am happy with. I posted a couple of shots of two types of recon piped panzer wraps and I had a heck of a time getting the colors right on copper brown and gold yellow. They are on the clothing forum about the panzer recon boards. The guy I got the HG pz officers cap from has been doing vet buys for over 40 years. This is one of the only ones I have ever seen that I was satisfied was real. Lots of them look O.K. from a distance in photos. He has at least 4 Luft officers M-43's. I just have to come up with something he really wants that he doesn't already have.

Richard,

Very nice. can I ask you a question? Is the lining a smooth rayon or ribbed? WR Jim

Jim,

Its a very smooth rayon, no ribbing at all. I will try to take some photos in natural light hopefully later today.
