Yes, this would be my cap but no date due to considerable use.

Ah so, you still have it - splendid. So, that makes three then that I know of....

Mike - When asking about the buttons being used on other Heer caps, I meant caps other than Panzer (even if by this same maker). I should have been more specific. (When asking this, I am NOT questioning the cap's originality at all.)

Understood .

Here is another with the small black buttons, but of a different type.

Hi to me it looks like a converted M43 fieldcap and I concur with the information provided by Chris, nevertheless still a wonderful panzer cap that I would love to have in my collection.

If you mean a M-42 with factory added visor,I don't believe that it is. It has some characteristics of a M-43 that are not seen in M-42's.


Most likely one of the first production runs of the M-43 field hat.IMO

buttons

To add a detail to the discussion the buttons on my cap are attracted to a magnet.

Beautiful cap, would love to get one of these someday. Matt

Just that the texture and color in the visor looks different but you have the cap in hand so you can make better judgement then I do.
