Heer officer M43 cap, doeskin

[CWP]

I wanted to post this for opinions before offering it for sale. Is this an original cap? Any suggestions of a realistic E-stand price in the current market would be appreciated.

Condition of the cap is outstanding. It has Jaeger insignia.

Maybe they know better..Just looks like a custom made cap by a large period uniform retailer/tailor .... Billbert

The irregular construction details as well as overall impression are not those of an original war-time cap.

Here is another one that just popped up as good but missing trap.

Amazingly the same stamp/size and the tailor had a habit of leaving the stitching along the top front silver piping clearly exposed.

The lining fabric reminds me of that in a handful of fakes, like this tunic here: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=753572

Very interesting, it does look like the same Ribbed lining material.

I have seen one other in another collection. That makes 3 in two years including these two.

I like them more than I don’t..I’ve seen both this variation with silver buttons and sweatband and the lesser variation with fieldgrau buttons and no sweatband..JMHO Billbert
