MINT M43 WH for opinion

It is an interesting phenomenom that film studio or museum markings in an item were once considered undesirable by many collectors, yet since then fakers have added these numbers and codes to their creations to make their product more credible. I am not certain that is what is going on here, but I wouldn't allow that detail alone to convince you of this cap's authenticity.

its looks like it was stamped before the cap was made note how the ink stamps go under the top panel seam

Thanks Lenny W,

I didn't see this fact !!

That's a crease, not a stamp. You can see the shadow. I'm still leaning towards the cap being ok but these are getting harder and harder.

To me it doesnt look good at all, we ve seen these fakes a while now, these are modern reproductions (10/15 years) where fakers use original unissued traps too.

Good call by Lenny on the stamps, maybe a cut up greatcoat lining. Is the insignia even original? To me it looks like the arms of the swaz do not even line up.
