Original era manufacture. Standard pattern IJN officers hat worn by all commissioned ranks during WWII. Dark blue wool top with a removable white cotton cover now yellowed from age. Mellow patina wire cap wreath & fouled anchor device stitched to the front of the cap. Leather bound visor. The black leather chinstrap looks to be a replacement however the brass anchor side buttons are correct. The cap's interior is of faded purple silk with a white cotton rectangle name tag. Black oilcloth sweatband shows wear and use but is sound. No mothing to mention, only damage is a bump in the visor edge binding on the right side. Normal age and wear overall.
