[FloridaLancer]

I bought this awhile ago, and dont know anything about it. Is it real? What model is it? I'm thinking about selling it.. How much do these go for?

[John Huff]

So far looks like a nice M43. Pictures of the inside please?

Originals in nice condition sell for around $450 - $500 here in the states. Condition would probably dictate this one would go cheaper.

Actually there are folks out there who would pay more because of the signs of useage in the interior..rather than a new unissued quartermaster piece..Somewhat unusual to see the button cockade on a 2 button m43..most have bevo cockades on them..The button cockade is more often seen on the single button billed cap and the overseas cap..

Agreed.

For me , the importance of condition is inversely proportional to the item's rarity. Luft enlisted M-43's are common, so I personally would only pay for a nicer example. To each his own , though.
