Item #64631 : Original era manufacture. Fine quality, early tall style kepi in doeskin wool. Silver wire trim for the rank of Commandant, or Major. Red wool top with a sky blue wool band, silver brocade wire chinstrap. Black leather visor with a bound edge, black silk lining with a black leather sweatband decorated with a thin white silk ribbon. Looks to be some mouse nibblings on one spot of the sweatband, with a few very small moth bites in the cloth, minor staining, with some thread loosening of the silver wire trim. Otherwise a very sound old hat.
