Very nice summary Karsten, thank you.

Any chance you might put this in the GCA database?

Peter

Paul,

I like it too but didn't dare to bid on it, I'm no headgear guy either. The input I got on it was that it looks ok but the insignias might be postwar replaced. Today I regret I didn't tried to get it, it was cheap.

Peter

I like it a lot!! I am not a M43 specialist, but it looks right to me!

Did it pass the black light test on the whites, the Cocard looks very bright and new??

Lorenzo

Lorenzo, I'm waiting for that answere, I will let you know.

Thank you

Friends,

I have the same question as last time, is this realy original? Is the separate eagle and cocard correct?

Thank you Ron.

That was my feeling as well so I didn't buy it. The inside looks to new to me and without any markings.

Peter

Hello Peter,

This one is a fake.

Best

Ron

Friends,

I am not experienced at all in headgear so I need you help, is this one period or not? There is no marking at all inside.

Thank you!

Peter

Thank you Paul and Juergen.

As this was the pictures I got from the seller and the auction ends today, I am unable to show more pictures. The price is at 300€ but have not yet reached minimum asked price yet. When i got the pics, I saw that I know the seller so I should be able to ask him what the lowest price was once the action has ended.

I don't think I will bid on it as I would like a more 100% textbook, but you never know.

Regards

More pictures, not the best quality.

Thank you Paul,

Now i learnt something now today too!

If I just have bothered with looking at "Viertaschenjacke" a bit more I would have seen it's "fyrficksjacka" in Swedish. Lesson learnt, you can understand more German than you think.

Regards

Thank you both,

I have asked for more photos, I will post them when and if I get it. It's called "Viertaschenjacke" in the auction (never seen that name before)and the bid so far is 200€ but that has not met the lowest price. I have not yet started with collecting these but sooner or later I will and thats why I have an eye on the action

Regards

Peter

I guess this jacket doesn't stand a chanse of beeing authentic but pls give me input so I can learn. I can see that the collar tabs are in a strange place.

I do not have access to any more pictures, I would like to have one of the stitching of the eagle.

Thank you

Peter

Yeah!! VERY lucky! Was it damaged or something? Congrats on a great score!

Used but not damaged, as good as new! One advantage of living in a small country where not everyone understands whats on local auction sites! I know I'm lucky.

Peter

And I was lucky to get mine #2 for 65?!
