Toughts about this M41

[Mark Gibson]

I tend to believe it's been post-war altered for either a 're-enactor' or a collector who couldn't leave an original sidecap alone due to desperately wanting an m40.

Alex,

I do agree with Mark on this point and, after looking at it this morning, I think it is more than likely that a previous owner has added the bill from a reproduction cap. The difference between a sidecap and a M40 in both value and scarcity is vast.

Hello Mark(s),


Thanks for your comments.

I am learning a lot here. When I bought this item (AAG International in 1995) it was stated "Afrikakorps period cap". I know that saying "Afrikakorps" should come with any kind of proof, but my hope was that this one was at least an original tropical M40.

Well, now I have a "mysterious" and altered cap in my hands...

Thanks and best regards,


Alex.
