Original WWI Era U.S. Army M1902 Infantry Officer's Visor Cap by New York Clothing House - Excellent Condition
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice condition U.S. Army Infantry Officer's M1902 visor cap in very dark bue, intended to be worn by Officer's 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. Officer's caps were usually privately purchased, and this officer apparently had a lot to spend.
The cap features a patent leather covered visor, probably supported by pressed paper or fabric. The brown leather sweatband is stitched to the body of the hat, and is in excellent condition, probably around a size 7 1/4. The crown of the cap is lined with black satin fabric, and is marked as follows:
NEW YORK
CLOTHING HOUSE
BALTIMORE, MD.
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 "Infantry Blue" central band, the "Branch of Service" color for infantry.
No major moth issues to report, the hat is sound, not crushed or broken. Really an excellent example.
A great example to pick up a rare cap from the WWI Era!
