WH (Heer) Officer's M43 Cap (Einheitsfeldmütze M43 für Offiziere). 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 fine high quality wool construction M43 cap is having silver officers piping attached to the crown of the cap. The cap is not visible maker marked or dated. The cap is complete with an original machine sewn flat-wire woven officer's type cap-eagle/cocarde trapezoid to the front of the cap. The cap is in very good condition. Stunning original WH Heer M43 Officer's cap!
