Clever.....nice try imo.

I'm not quite ready to condemn this cap. While definitely not an early cap, I have encountered later side caps made during the m-42/m-43 era, usually for secondary formations. I like the (zinc plated?) grommets and general quality but am unfamiliar with this maker.

Hello guys,

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, you are right. It's a very strange cap.

I attach some more close up pictures from the rivets and other parts.

Here is another fake marking - the size stamp is one I'm quite familar with:

Of course it may well be a fake though it would not be a cap I would choose to reproduce, perhaps one of the least sought after models.

If it is FAKE..It is wonderfully executed.. Billbert
