SS m43 hat for review

[NBolinger]

A friend picked this up at auction and asked me to post.

It is a classic fake cap. Nothing good here.

It is a classic fake cap. Nothing good here.

Except the trap looks to be nice original. The hard to find version on black backing. Several points about the cap do not float my boat although someone may have added a dodgy SS-BW stamp along the way. However, the trap is worth good money,

My thoughts as well.

Send a detailed closeup of the trap, so you can see the threads. I'm not sure trap is good, but not sure it's bad, either. Closeups!!

There is nothing wrong with the trap. I have posted a couple of 101% examples below for you to compare with. One panzer black backing, one field-grey backing. You will notice that also on these examples the horizontal black eye detail thread is 90 degrees from the vertical cream-white thread of the skull. There are three possible shades of thread used for the embroidery of the eagle & skull on this type of trap, 1/ cream-white 2/ silver-grey 3/ darker-grey,
