    Well i just looked at old threads on the forum and there was a dark green backed edelweiss on a M43 cap that came from an Austrian....The bullion cap eagle is dark green backed so i just wondered

    So something different then from what we normally see with tropical m43 caps,glad you like it

    Cheers

    Bob
    Here's a similar cap but I think Italian made. Jim

          Bob,

          It would be good to get a flat image of the label as best you can.
          Translated so far reads.

          1:Μηχανια = Machined
          2:Πιλήκισ = Hats
          3:The maker is in the middle
          4:????? = ?????
          5:Aθήνα = Athens

          cheers

                        What is fantastic is the edelweiss embroidered directly in the cloth

                          Also notice that the cap material has faded or more to the point bleached out in the Sun

                          Cheers
