June 24, 20251 yr #1 All reproductions. The collar patches came "raw/unformed", so I hand-formed and hand-stitched them on. The device on the ribbon bar is original, and most of its silver plating is worn off. I hand-constructed the ribbon bar, and the ribbons themselves are reproductions, as is the pin-back bar on which they're mounted (no gaps between the individual ribbons!).
July 6, 20251 yr Author #2 My shameless sales pitch for my favorite M43 field cap. I got mine several years ago, although I'm not a re-enactor, and wear it during the autumn and winter months. Strangely, I always get compliments on it. Best cold weather winter headgear I've ever owned. Mine is pictured.
