WW2 German Luftwaffe M43 Cap

A well worn 'salty' Luftwaffe M43 field cap as worn by Luftwaffe troops from 1943 onwards.
These were much seen in wear amongst Paratroopers & Field Division troops in the NW Europe fighting , Luftwaffe ground troops playing an important role when air superiority was lost by the Luftwaffe . This nicely worn example has machine sewn trapezoid eagle & swastika to front with both original blue painted fastening buttons still present. Interior lining is in the classic rayon artificial silk with ink stamped RB/RF number & 1944 date . The size stamp '56' is also visible. Cap has had a repair to the front left side of the trapezoid where there was once what appears to have been a tear to the wool. The front visor is intact with the internal stiffener seperated in the middle which can be noticed when felt with the fingers . Visually it is still the same.
