Waffen-SS M43 cap, green, w/exposed cardboard visor

[Gerard/Relic Hunter]

From what I can see, this is a duplicate of the one that Perry FLoyd got from a veteran. This one was obtained from where it has been in a collection since 1970. I think the maker is the same as on the one Perry found. Surprisingly, this one has replaced buttons. (the other one was missing the buttons.) Enjoy, comments welcome.

Maker mark interesting at this period!

I think the info appears to me- SS manufacturer code is 3042, date is 1944 and the storage depot is Habramag Brünn in the Czech republic, Moravia area (today).

Wonderful cap! Yes, like Perry's veteran find.

[Gerard/Relic Hunter]

Buttons are original for that hat IMO Billbert

Billbert, may be, but I think resewn on. Not a big deal, just goes to the fact that this type cap came with badly sewn buttons that tend to come loose.

I mispoke on the buttons..indeed the buttons are most likely period,,The other examples where sans buttons when originally sourced...I believe All 3 examples either where found nearly new without buttons OR had the green composite/ersatz buttons..... JMHO Billbert
