M43 Waffen-SS Single button/gabardine

[alexandre]

Hi to all,

Here a tricky M43 cap I have obtained recently
IMO,this one is very late war produced and original.
The green lining is close to this "statnized" type sold by collector guild:
http://www.germanmilitaria.com/Waffe...s/S002162.html

At first glance,I thought the lining was removed,but I can't find any traces of it in the internal stitching of the top...
I suppose, like it's often the case in the late war manufactured M44 jacket (skeleton lining),
the reason could be a simplification of production / material economy??

There is a name in the cloth band inside.
No bias,nothing to make more rigid the cap inside.

I will be happy to share your opinions about this cap!!

Ditto..not very often seen in single button in this material.. Billbert
Also looks like two piece bevo insignia GHOSTS on front???

[anmarlodz]

the write name is Czech or Slovak. I suspect it came from Czech republic. Seen some of these last months.
question ; where this made only for SS or for army also ?

Thx for your answers!
I have seen this type of cap made with gabardine and single button only with waffen-ss trap factory applied
