Italian made WH (Heer) M43 Cap (Einheitsfeldmütze M43). The M43 field cap was introduced for wear by all ranks on 11 June 1943 as a replacement cap for all other field caps then in use. The design of the M43 field cap was based on the earlier M42 overseas cap (Feldmütze) and the Mountain Trooper’s Mountain Cap (Bergmütze) with minor variations. The standard issue M43 field caps were constructed of field-grey wool. This cap is foreign made of all Italian materials. The typical Italian lining material is size '57' marked, the cap is not visible maker marked or dated. The cap is having two typical wooden type Italian buttons on front. The cap is complete with a rare original Italian BeVo-woven M43-model cap-eagle/cocarde (trapezoid) which is factory machine-sewn on front of the cap. The cap is in very good condition with some minimal traces of usage, see photos. Scarce and hard to find original foreign made variant WH (Heer) M43 cap!
