M-43 Officer's Hat...

[Skip Pickett]

Greetings. I just purchased a collection of stuff...in it was this hat. Any opinions on it? I've not handled many, so I'm in the dark on this thing. (The swaz is covered in the picture due to it's soon to be fate on e-bay, if need be!) The bullion is kinda nice on a cotton backing...

Thanks, Skip

On the inside...

Insignia is def. a repro. Don't like the shape, fabric and liner of the cap. Conclusion: not genuine.

Hi Skip,

The total appearance of this cap alone would make me not even pick up this cap when place on a table at a show.

Hey Skip,

I'm in line with Bart and Steiner. It's so ridiculous that perhaps it's a prop from an old film.

Best,

Yep

Yep, that was my line of thought too guys... I bought it, and much of the other items the fellow had as repos, and paid very little...so off to ebay it will go!

Thanks!
Skip
