M 43 Officers Wehrmacht Feldmütze cap

M43 Officers Wehrmacht Feldmütze cap. The salty condition. The self made leather sweatband is applied by the owner and in really very "salty" condition. Markings cannot be read due to hard staining on the liner. The outer part of the wool and the aluminum piping is in a very worn condition due of frontline use. The steel buttons are darkened due of ages. The threads and wool hard faded. An officer M42 trapezoid on a dark green background woven in BeVo style with aluminum thread and matched by condition to the hat, but most likely placed postwar. Size 57. No moth damage. Nice combat field hat with spirit of war!
