Luftwaffe M 43 hat RB Nr 0/1000/0061

Luftwaffe M 43 hat. Well worn example, well marked inside RB Nr 0/1000/0061 and size 54. It has a big uniform size 19 mm button in steel grey Luftwaffe colored, and seems is a factory added to it. Insignia is machine attached. The hat is made from re-issued cloth ( old overcoats and tunics) which is a normal practice for a mid war headgear. Old repair work on the cloth is clear seen  and is going into the seam of the hat. That confirmed that the hat was made from old re-issued cloth.
