Manu Della Valle Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Beautiful,worn-but-not-abused,1943-dated M43 made of mid-War Italian "nettle cloth",i.e.recycled wool with a fairly high contents of nettle fibers,and this cap has quite a few untreated and undyed fibers showing embedded in the weave. It's worn but I would call it near-mint. I particularly like its four-hole buttons which are original to it. It mustn't have either been comfortable or fresh to wear,in fact between the cloth and the lining there's a fairly high reinforcement made of either waterproof cheesecloth or rubberised paper clearly defined by the sweat marks. It’s a 100% perfect match to a M43 and a M44 feldbluses in my collection and they makes it even more special! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
