Original U.S. Navy WWI Era M1902 Warrant Officer Visor Cap by S. Appel & Co. New York
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice condition U.S. Navy Officer's M-1902 visor cap constructed of dark blue wool, intended to be worn by a Warrant officer (crossed anchor insignia). This example is particularly well made, with the officer's front insignia features brass anchors, with a gilt chinstrap.
The cap features a patent leather visor. The brown leather sweatband is stitched to the body of the hat, and is in very good condition. The crown of the cap is lined with black satin fabric, and is marked as follows:
S. Appel & Co.
UNIFORMS
18 FULTON ST.
NEW YORK
These markings were originally silver, but wear and oxidation has turned them a dark gray color.
The front of the cap bears the correct Navy crossed anchor insignia, with a gold bullion adjustable chinstrap and two U.S. Navy side buttons. No major moth issues to report, the hat is sound, not crushed or broken. Size is approximately US 7 (56cm)
A great example to pick up a rare cap from the WWI Era!
