Afrikakorpsrat64 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Was doing some Dusting and arranging and decided to lay out some field gear from the display, for a better view. The buckle is a 1941 Gustav Brehmer. Bayonet is a matching 1939 J.Sch. The shirt is an DAK used former french M35 shirt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Auld Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Tony, I have a cap but I am not happy with it I will try and find it and perhaps you can look at it. They are red inside right? does yours have a maker stamp? Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But otherwise is typical M40 cap of late war manufacture. Made by Carl Halfer 1943. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikakorpsrat64 Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 An almost Identical cap to mine, right down to maker and date of manufacture. From Robert Kurtz book "AFRIKAKORPS" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Great Caps Tony, I nearly got one from an auction site, but I wasn't sure of what they were worth, the only thing that put me off finally there were no stampings/ ink marks in the red lining? What is the rough price for a good original one of these...Please? Best to You...Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things to look out for are the grommets inside, and the insignia, just to name a couple of things. Cheers ! Just now, Afrikakorpsrat64 said: Hi Ian, the M40's can bring $1400 and up in US dollars.
