Description
This is an original post-WWII U.S. Army officer's service cap. Although nearly identical to the wartime version, these are constructed of a slightly coarser wool. Its original owner removed the cap's interior wire stiffener, allowing the hat to be reshaped and "crushed" into a silhouette more popular among American servicemen. It is constructed of olive drab wool and features a russet brown leather visor and chinstrap. The front is decorated with a gold-plated brass standard-sized officer's device. Its interior is marked size 7; however, no manufacturer's marking could be located.
Provenance
Private Collection, Dallas, Texas
Condition Report
This cap is in good, used condition, however the cover is slightly separating from the band towards the rear of the cap and the protective plastic headliner is cracking.
