Ss M43

[billmunny]

Guys--here are some shaky pics of an SS M43. My thoughts, esp. from the SS-BW stamp, is that this is a Janke-made cap, but I'm hoping there is a chance that the trap is real ...

Thanks for your time and opinions!

AS Glenn said, repro for reenactors. I think At the Front is selling these.

I agree too

Thanks guys!

I thought the cap itself is a repro, but any chance the trap insignia is real?

Again, thanks for the help!

Thanks, Bob...the tunic has "6" cyphers to denote the 6th SS Division--the previous owner went as far as he could to gussy-up the repro Janke tunic, including a repro Reinhard Heydrich cufftitle!

Thanks, Bob and others for confirming that the cap is a repro, but any further thoughts on the trap insignia--bad also?

With respect one glance at the swastika should tell you what you want to know.

Cheers,Ian.
