Greetings all!
Purchased this cap a few years ago now and would appreciate some constructive and informed info/opinions on this one. If it is OK, off to the E-Stand it goes!
The body of the cap is in very good condition with minor wear, some fading to the outer exposed areas and some dust and soiling. There is minor sweat staining around the inner edge of the cap. Obviously, visible in the images, the inner rayon lining has been cut open at some stage and the insignia replaced. The visor has been bent and shaped to give the wearer a better level of eye protection, almost certainly period done, as with many M43s, to suit the wearers requirements. I cannot make out any ink stamps or markings. I have taken images both inside and outside in natural light, with and without the flash to try and give some idea of the actual colour, condition of the nape etc.
Many thanks in anticipation !
