airborne steve Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 (edited) Hi all!Here are pictures of my new addition, a near mint M42 hat! The markings are barely visible but clean as can be. I hope to take pictures of this with my M42 tunic. Comments welcome.Steve Edited August 9, 2007 by airborne steve
airborne steve Posted August 9, 2007 Author Posted August 9, 2007 Faint markings. These are super rare hats to say the least!Steve
Paul R Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 I am not experienced with these at all, but congratulations on your new acquisition! Is this one your first?
airborne steve Posted August 9, 2007 Author Posted August 9, 2007 (edited) hi Paul,This is my second M42. The first I sold 23 years ago which I still regret even to this day! Steve Edited August 9, 2007 by airborne steve

airborne steve Posted October 23, 2007 Author Posted October 23, 2007 UPDATE!I have added a new M42 to my collection. This one has machine sewn insignia and is a large size. It is Mint, just the way I like them. I guess I'm the only one who likes these M42s? Anyway enjoy
airborne steve Posted October 23, 2007 Author Posted October 23, 2007 Also, I picked up this Propaganda officers M38/34 overseas hat. EnjoySteve
VonBierStein Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Nice work. Any opinion on how the insignia should be sewn to the piece? Ran across one that was in decent shape. The sewing on the insignia was horrible. Wasn't too sure so I left the piece alone. I can still purchase however. I want to wait till I have more info.
