Opinions on GJ M43 Please!

I have been offered this M43 cap with edelweiss. From this one pic, are there any red flags? I have requested more pics of the cap.

Also, What is the approximate value of these?

Thanks in advance!

Maybe field made...Billbert
m43 s as a rule generally dont have 1 let alone 2 per side vents..also stitching line on top seems to wamder a bit..the fotos will tell more...

Grommets appear Quite Close together, among other things.

Here are two more pics that the seller sent to me. He will send me a better pic of the edelweiss later tonite.

If authentic, How much is it worth? I am no expert on cloth headgear and I am wondering if his asking price is fair.

Hope these help,

John

Third pic. The seller also mentioned that the brim has a lip on the edge of the cardboard (under the cloth, that can be felt thru the cloth).

I just noticed- Vent holes only on one side. Is this odd?

I would personally pass on it.

MIGHT be field made..A tough one for resale.. I wouldnt pay more than 300-400 bucks IF I really wanted it..IF you want factory made..this is not it.... IMHO
