Appears to be an original cap that has been abused. M-43 is a depot code (Munchen '43) not a model designation.Originally posted by NickG View PostComment

Nice cap Nick. The repair could have been period done.
I don't think someone today would do such a sloppy and ugly job just to sell it as complete.
If the price is right i would go for it.sigpicLooking for the photo albums of Leutnant Emil Freitag, 3. / G.R. 377Comment
