Original British WWII Royal Army Officers Green Visor Peaked Cap with Bullion Insignia

Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. This fine quality cap has a 40 mm wide red wool band, with the body of the cap fabricated from a khaki wool, in the traditional flat top design with raised peak. There are four khaki-colored metal eyelets, two on either side of the seam at the rear of the cap, on the underside of the overhang for ventilation.

The front is adorned with a 34.5 mm (w) x 49.5 mm (h) Brigadier's Cap Badge, illustrating the lion standing upon the King's crown, the badge fabricated from gold-colored and silvered bullion wire, with maroon felt in the void of the crown, touches of red embroidery in the crown on and in the tongue of the lion, along with touches of red and green embroidery in the base of the crown.

The khaki wool visor has a chocolate brown two-piece leather chinstrap resting along the top edge, held in position via brass buttons on both sides. The underside of the visor is in khaki wool, the visor itself is a little stiff. The 50 mm wide sweatband is fabricated from dark brown leather, which unfortunately is partially detached from the underside of the brim.

The condition of the leather shows signs of minor wear from service but is still in solid condition. The cap is almost completely free of mothing. Overall, it continues to exhibit smooth quality in the wool, plus quality workmanship, intact stitching, maintaining its original period look, extremely fine.

Comes more than ready for display.
