Heer NCO M43 Cap - Opinions please

[Acez84]

I really need some feedback on this cap since I know very little about them.

- The fabric is ribbed material.
- The condition is very good, a lot of silver on tresse and insignia.
- The liner is light blue
- Markings are 57 - and RbNR /4017/8856 - See picture
- The buttons are marked A - Assmann 12mm.
- There are slight signs of wear on the inside rim.
- It is very soft and I find no signs of plastic in the brim etc.

Is it strange that the eagle is seperate from the cocade? I have not seen that on other M43 caps on dealer sites.

Please let me know your opinion

Thank you. Feel free to add some details on how it is spotted as a repro. I trust your opinions gents, but it would be nice to know what exactly sets it out as a fake.

The feldgrau material, synthetic lining, markings and insignia are not even close to original examples, sorry.

That twill-weave wool is typical for a lot of fakes apparently coming from Latvia, other garments in the same fabric are also available. The format and general appearance of the marking inside is also incorrect.
