M-43 Caps for reenacting or personal use
Everyone should own at least one M-43 cap!

 I've been making M-43 caps for over 30 years but over the last few years I've been having trouble cutting and sewing because of wrist pain from an old injury.  I'll eventually have stop making caps but I'm not done yet, I hope to make a few more!  Also other things have been demanding a lot of my time so it's becoming impossible for me to continue. That's why my stock is so limited and I haven't added anything new for a while.  If I run out of caps before I make more, I may end up just selling my remaining stock of fabric and patterns etc..  Until then I'll keep this page up and do the best I can!   I have to say how much I appreciate all the great customers who have always returned and always have great feedback!  Thanks

AIR VENT EYELETS - OPTIONAL

Eyelett Vents

For  $5. extra I'll install 4 quality eyelet vents, with washers into your cap.

I don't put air vents in all caps because not all German caps had vents and some people don't want vents so the option is yours!  These are eyelets that I found in an old surplus outlet. They are of older quality manufactured hardware. They are unpainted and were never plated. I have treated both eyelets and washers with acid to give them a dull gray look.  They look like the average original WWII German cap vents.  The eyelets are zinc. Germans used steel and zinc.  The washers are steel. Germans used steel and zinc for washers too.

Edelwiess
  German issued Mountain Troops Edelweiss  badge
(Postwar )

 These are similar to the WWII ones.
 Folding pins and 4 holes for sewing to the cap

$7. if ordered with a cap
