earlymb Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 That is a standard M1941 (pattern) HBT cap; 1943 is the production date of this example. It was generally issued to infantry as a 'working cap' and was superseded by the M1943 cap. Not uncommon, but you have a nice example is a good size and those are relatively scarce. There are lots of repros on the market for 10 to 15 euro. Greetz David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
