I don't know why the pdf images didn't post correctly? I think you can still view the images if you click on the pdf links? Let me know if you can't see the images? Thank you, Steve

Hello,
We can see pics by clicking on the links.
IMO this cap is one of the last best M43 repros. I've seen some with the same features, all in mint condition but I dont like the marking, size marking and another thing about biais that I keep for me (PM me if you want).
Regards, Pierre

Hello Steve.

I believe it is a well made fake.

I think there were a few of these for sale recently.....all made the same way.

Daniel.

Edit: There is a gorgeous M43 cap for sale in Estand now, its pricey, but its a one looker...

Thank you for your help on this. I have not paid for the hat yet so I will let the dealer know that I have been infromed that it is beleived to be a reproduction. Best regards, Steve

I will submit that it was made by "lost battalions", who makes Reenactor gear. I have one just like it from LB with different insignia.
