Sold for: $200.00

Original era manufacture. Dark olive wool body with an original sewn, pith helmet style, yellow cap star. Chin strap and sweatband are made from a green rubberized material, possibly from left over gas protection suits. There is a size marking character on a piece of burlap sewn inside the front of the cap. This pattern of hat was made without an inner lining, possibly for the tropics (that rubber sweatband must have been miserable)as the small cloth loops for the neck flap tabs are on the outside of the cap body. No moth damage or wear beyond storage wear.
