Original U.S. WWI M1910 Artillery General Officer’s Visor Cap with Direct Embroidered Bullion Eagle & Foliage by H.V. Allen & Co.
-
Original Item. Only One Available. This is a very nice condition U.S. Army Artillery Officer's M1910 visor cap in very dark blue, intended to be worn by Officers for dress and parade occasions. This example is particularly well made, with the officer's front insignia FULLY HAND EMBROIDERED in gold and silver bullion. Even the E PLURIBUS UNUM motto is embroidered. The red band around the cap indicates an officer of Artillery. Officer's caps were usually privately purchased, and this officer apparently had a lot to spend.
The cap features a patent leather covered visor with hand embroidered acorns & leaves. The brown leather sweatband is stitched to the body of the hat, and is in excellent condition, with a size stamp for 7⅛. The crown of the cap is lined with dark blue fabric, and is marked as follows:
H.V. ALLEN & CO.
734 BROADWAY
NEW YORK
The markings are in gold paint, and have very little wear. The front of the cap bears the correct gold U.S. Army Insignia, with a gold bullion adjustable chinstrap with two U.S. Army side buttons. The cap has the correct gold bands around the body for an officer, with an "Artillery Red" central band, the "Branch of Service" color for artillery.
No major moth issues to report, the hat is sound, not crushed or broken. Really an excellent example. Comes ready for further research and display!
