M43 Panzer cap

[north of 55]

I agree that the cap is not your typical example, due to the fact it has a cloth liner. But does that make it a repo, And also of it's condition.

Not all linings were made of artificial silk, cotton lining did exist!

I have been done badly with a similar black m43. This one would also not be for me. It seems to be going the same road of might be, may be, why not? With these that is a dangerous road. J

Sadly, any Pz M43 will have to be a one looker or have rock solid provenance to achieve a positive consensus on this forum. If you do a search, you will see that rarely happens.

No.I've quoted richthofen_117 because imo he is comparing a fake with a fake.

Emilio, that cap is doubtful for sure. What I want to say is cotton linings did exist in panzer M43 caps, many collectors expressed this point in the thread I quoted.
