    Hi Michael,
    I can't be much help with the FS caps but the Lord Lt cap is fantastic. I saw it listed and was a very fair price indeed. Regret not getting it now. I love hats with history, really brings them alive. Do you have a photo of him at all?

    Hi michael, Love the coloured F/S caps. (let me know if you ever want to part with them)
    Hopefully i can be of assistance with the ID of them


    OR 245 All elements very dark blue(VDB). Crown peak and curtain pipe red.
    the Duke of wellington's Regiment O/R fs cap

    OR 248 Crown white. Body and peak red. Curtain VDB. Crown and curtain piped yellow.
    REME worn 1942-1947

    OR 247 Crown and body red. Peak and curtain VD Green. No piping
    this one is a bit of a mystery, I have two listed with the same colour combination and no piping so cant be sure but it may be:
    West Kent Yeomanry O/R? - or - Loyal suffolk Hussars O/R?

    Hi Bananamafia, Very many thanks for your response and post. The information is most welcome and greatly appriciated. I used to collect chip bags but faded off them. I sometimes wonder why as I still like them although I have let a number go over the years in favour of visors etc. I am assuming from your post that you collect them too? What else presses your buttons? You never know we may be able to do a bit of trading???

    All I have to do now is find the correct period badges!! Also, please note, Titles changed!!!

    Thank you once again Michael

    Hi Again Bananamafia, Do you have a name? One thing that I neglected to ask you, if you look at the photo for OR 248, you will see that there is no badge slider hole? Despite the cap having been worn, have you any idea why it may have been worn without a badge???????????

    Cheers Michael

    Hi Michael, I'm afraid i don't collect these as such, but always pick them up when i see them.
    I have had a good few over the last couple of years and must admit I have got a little fascinated by them, I think it is partly due to the (somewhat) limited information available about them.

    As regards the one without the slider hole, I dont know. I also had one similar however, If my memory serves I think it was a RAOC one.
    It also had been worn, but without a fixing hole. I put it down to the individual just sliding his badge over the peak/curtain.
    but maybe there is an actual reason behind it?
    Kind regards

    I finally had some photos taken of some caps acquired over the past year or so. They are for officers of The Queen's Royal Irish Hussars, 2nd County of London Yeomanry ( Westminster Dragoons) , The 2nd King Edward's Own Gurkha Rifles ( The Sirmoor Rifles), and, although not stictly Army, The Royal Marines.
    Thanks to KarlS for the photography,
