Original Panzer EM M43?

[RobertE]

This M43 is made of a less coarse wool than army or other types, but seems like it manufacturered in the same manner as a regular M43 in terms of workmanship. The liner material looks very good - is this an original M43? Panzer guys, time to lean in, please! Regards, Robert

Convincing pictures = doubt? There's got to be some panzer headgear collectors out there that can get us in the box.
