M43 wh

[ascot]

Hello Guys,

I found this M43 cap.
I know it is difficult to find a correct one.
This one (a gebirgsjager) has a hand segn trapeze bevo.

Please your opinion.

thanks

Maybe an heeres issue with the edelweiss attached afterwards?
The visor doenst seems shorter as a heeres model...

Ok thanks for the info.

if the cap is original late war, is there any proof / documentarion that some gebirsjager caps where Equipped with a trapeze bevo?

[ascot]

I did receive the message from the seller that late war m43 caps, for gebirgs-jagers had the chance to get a trapeze bevo.....

Anyone more experience in this?

thanks

[ascot]

no body an idea about these trapeze insignia|?

[Buckliger]

it s an original trapez probably postwar hand applied. but I dont see a reason why it should be to find on mountaintroops headgear.

[ascot]

correct,

that exactly my question.

let put it like this:
Are all gebirgs jager m43 caps provided with a T bevo.

Or

Like the seller tries to persuade me, that possible late m43 gebirgs jager caps also did had the change to end up with a trapeze bevo...

thanks

As for as I know GB hats don t have to have T shaped eagles but most had.
The trapez insignia shown and your cap is 99% postwar applied, wich brings me to the conclusion that the cap was denazifized after the war and was completd with a usuall trap when it came to collectors hands....

[ascot]

super..

thanks Buckliger for the clarification...

Now i can overthink the idea if i can take this cap in my collection
