I have this m43 trousers in my collection.

There are ghostmarks on it.

 

Is this a para modified m43 trousers?

And what is the value of it?

I believe that's a cutter's tag rather than a laundry mark. Those are usually found on unissued items fresh from the factory!

Another thing...if they were airborne modified 43s, there should be some evidence of stitch marks on the inner thighs where the leg tapes would have been attached.

It is, however, the more uncommon version of the M43 pants with the label on the outside. Is it dated mid 43? I have a similar one.

I can't find a date in the trousers, where is your label with date placed?

I didn't find any label with date.

However, I got the guarantee from a collector that it was an original ww2 trousers.

What is the value of this item?

 

(This collector had a large collection with 2 original british para (one fully packed with chute), 101st airborne para (m42 jumpsuit with original inland m1a1 carbine), an 82nd para (m43 uniform with chute, fully packed), ss soldier with working k98 and a ss panzer captain)
