Original era manufacture. A nice quality example with a dark blue wool body with a removable black mohair quilted cap band. On the front of the hat is a very nicely toned gold bullion officers cap emblem. Patent leather chinstrap and bound visor, the chinstrap being secured with two gilt brass navy pattern buttons. Black oilcloth sweatband with a typical maroon silk lining, with a white cotton, diamond shaped panel, with painted characters. The lining displays typical age and wear, the sweatband is intact and sound, also displaying normal wear. No moth issues to the wool, and the hat displays well.
