    Greetings folks, I have some items I would like opinions on if possible. I have not yet bought any of these buy I may well do, I have them for a few weeks for inspection.

    First, a heer M43, the eagle and cockade to the front are reproduction for sure, the edelweiss is supposed to be original, but missing a brass part, marked inside by maker bamberger. I know BW used these into the 60's so if anyone knows the specific differences I would appreciate that info;

    Next another m43, SS this time. It looks half legit to me. Repro eagle to the side but the deaths head is supposed to be original to the cap.

    And finally, a field police ET68 M35. Im not at all sure about this one, the liner / chinstrap is apparently of czech origin. There are a pair of decals under the current set, it began as a glossy black by the look of the interior but has been repainted with a brush in a matt black, over which the second set of decals has been applied. At the back where the batch no is there is also a small paper sticker (?) which is under the repaint, looks like a stamp with perforated edges? any thoughts? Batch number is 4080. Liner is marked (more like branded) C.f.S, and the size 60 is inside a circle (more like a cog with small spiked teeth)

    I'd be verrryyy weary of these items. I don't like them.
