Luftwaffe M-43 "officer" opinions

[Federico Perez]

I have this hat for quite some years, it did not cost me a penny so no loss there if is a bad one, I belive is a post war one or even a repro....but not sure about it,but by the shape and short visor it do not look like a regular M-43, may be the insignia have a chance as been original....or maybe not, any help and opinions on this piece will be appreciated.

Thanks for the opinions they are greatly appreciated, if is indeed a repro...and by the opinions it seems to be, is good to know for certain.

Again thanks for the info

a question?, what color is the hat? From the photos it seems an army, I think it is original but not Lufwaffe regards sergio

The color of the hat is light shafe of blue...or a medium blue, not the datker shade usualy found on the regular enlisted men Luft. M43. Since this seem to be a postwar/repro I am thinking of taking out the insignia and give it to friend who collects these repros insignia as a data base reference.

Again thanks to all who take time to give oppinions about the hat,greatly appreciate your time and opinions.
