Hg m-43?

[Richard P]

Well...here are a few photos which may be enough for those in the know to judge. I was sent this one to look at with no strings attached, so nothing invested. I can take more photos if needed. Seems to have only the size stamp as markings. There is bias material on the ear flaps behind the fold over. Thanks!

Based on the photos, not one I would touch.

Lets not jump to conclusions without all the facts. Richard is it possible to see some images of the "key" areas with the flaps down ???

Hard to say more at this stage but I am looking forward to being able too

Chris,
based on those photos, you can pretty much jump top that conclusion. No other facts needed.

Gerard, you may indeed be right but still lets see more.

Interesting if nothing else and good for reference then again ???

Chris,
I am not telling you not to discuss it (just please don't go ad neuseam crazy like in that other thread). I am just saying don't tell me not to jump to conclusions. I don't like the wool, the lining, the insignia, markings, fake soiling, etc.

The eagle is a known reproduction. Und so!

I will post some more photos later for educational purposes if nothing else. Thanks for the comments so far.

As promised here are more photos. I am here to learn so let er rip. John, please tell me how to identify the known fakes....is there a thread to go to and compare eagles? They all kind of run together for me. Thanks!

2. The lining and pull down straps are a heavy ribbed rayon that I have seen in a few vet pick up caps.
