royohboy Posted February 16, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 16, 2019 Hi everyone! This cap was advertized as an unlabeled M-43 pile cap, and as it was a large size (7 3/8ish), in good condition, and reasonably priced I bought it. There are no labels or tags whatsoever. Is this a US Army M-43 pile cap at all, or maybe a similar cap as used by some other country's army? The way the laces are attached to the flaps looks different than on other (labeled) M-43 pile caps I've seen, and the bill is a funny shape and not as broad as usual. Can anyone tell if this is a US Army M-43 pile cap at all, or if it is Canadian, Dutch or from some other NATO country? Thanks, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korea drab Posted April 11, 2019 Share #2 Posted April 11, 2019 Usually they are taged or stamped in many parts. If not i would suggest a civil item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted April 11, 2019 Share #3 Posted April 11, 2019 Could be a Army Navy Store type, post WWII-early 50s in the manner of the fatiques and field jackets made for the market, something that could be privately purchased by a serviceman.
