    Help the newb with caps please!

    Well I would love some help on identifying originals other than posting pics here.


    First off.
    M43 field cap.
    What exactly would I be looking for that will extinguish a real one from a good repro?
    I saw one at a army surplus store and it looked to be pretty iffy..kinda worn but had these 2 SS stamps on the inside of it and that seemed kinda odd so I passed on it.


    M40 and M34 oversees cap.
    I do not know much about them so any help would be appreciated! thanks!

    And last
    SS m42 camo caps.
    What would I be looking for.
    I found one at the same place as above that was pretty worn, had the sweat band and seemed like it was stitched right but the hard stuff in the bill was white and I read that is was a redish brown color?
    I think his stuff was crap... first off he got all...... ... about me asking to take pictures to have some experts check for me...

    so if any one could at least point me in the right direction to atleast know if an item is worth atleast taking pics of.... I would love it!

    well sounds like you did the right thing not to buy the m-43 cap my sugestion is to use the forum and seach function there are plenty of original examples of these caps everywhere i dont think anyone will give specific details on what to look for on an original cap sorry but thats the way it is i know people who fake this stuff watch these forum closely
    Give a man an opinion and you feed him for a day,
    teach a man to use the "search" function on the WAF and you feed him for a lifetime.
