Clump of Philadelphia","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginal Item. Only One Available. The Hat, Service, M1911 (Campaign Hat) was made of OD wool felt with a wide brim and \"Montana peak\" crown. There were ventilation holes in the crown with grommets, a silk hatband, and a silk and brass braid cord closed by a knot and terminated with a tassel. Inside was a leather sweatband and an attached chin strap. The Army model was dark brown OD in color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example appears to be a period private purchase example for an officer, which is why there are no rows of stitching along the edge. It may be from the early post-war era, but from the design of the sweatband we believe it to be wartime. The hat cords worn around the base of the crown indicated the branch for enlisted men and rank for officers. The system was similar to the piping colors for the Garrison Cap, copied from the Campaign Hat. Unit and rank insignia were sometimes worn on the front of the hat when authorized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is fitted with an Engineer cord, of white and red. The hat band shows some fraying but is overall in good shape. The underside shows a complete sweatband with the bow still intact. The sweatband is embossed with the maker’s information, \u003cstrong\u003eC.D.
