I'd like to get some opinions on this M43 Panzer cap. I'm having a hard time finding any issues with it, but need opinions from some folks with more experienced with these specific caps.
















Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I'm not sure what you mean by "Not sure I would fit into this category..."? Are you experienced with M42 caps? If so, please state more detail regarding what about the cap causes you to "entertain doubt". It's more valuable to everyone when substance is provided when an item is called out as potentially being in doubt.

Studying some originals is always useful and hands-on experience as well. I would suggest letting this one remain with some other owner but retaining images to compare with a couple of originals. Explaining with only words would not help clarify why this one isn’t good IMO.

Thanks Pauke! I appreciate your diplomatic and respectful approach very much. Although I do always compare items I consider for purchase with known originals (always), caps like these are simply not my cup of tea so some of the more subtle details escape me. Show me any dagger and within seconds I can tell you whether or not it's fake or original. Some of us focus on different areas than others, which is what makes this forum such a great tool.
