          Maker info...
          Why ink stamped M43??? (because its fake?)
          it looks so old and repaired...so I wanted some expert opinions!

          This thread shows in post 4 also a M43 inked cap...

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

              Oh I see, yes depot marking!! That makes much more sense ! I thought the cap looked promising! Bill is fixable for sure!

                    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.
