    Unseen m43 😱

    I just picked this up as I have never seen one before , nor have a few of my longtime collector friends.

    M43 Werkschutz for fire brigade in so called salt and pepper material. It is in close to mint condition and appears never worn . I don't think too many have this hat in their collections. The hat is very pleasing to look at . it stands out among the other m43s
    I would have to think hundreds of times rarer than a SS m43 . I could be wrong
    but for me after 35 years it is the first. I even scoured my books and couldn't find an example. Search on this site came up with nothing also. I think this time I may be the first one on the block to own this type hat.

    Sorry for the excitement , but I'm putting it here for your comments and viewing.

                  Hello Dennis;
                  This cap is a first for me as well.
                  Definitely a very rare piece;
                  yours is probably one of the few in collections today!
                  Wonderful score.

                    The only thing that surpasses the rarity is the attractiveness of this great M43 cap.
