Hat looks ok the strap seems a little odd to me, I have not seen this maker that often
I've never seen a chinstrap like that before, but I'm sure the experts on here can fill you in on this. Looks ok otherwise , but I'm no expert.
I'm just going to pass on it
Hat is a good wartime private-purchase piece.
It also has the rare 2-piece frosted Officer's eagle.
Chinstrap appears to be pigskin, and it seems to fit the cap, so it may be original.
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
At first I didn't like the cap, but after SMs comment I can now see how it is indeed a private purchase piece.
Depending on the price I would grab it, maybe the chinstrap is a period replacement, they do break.
If the price is right it would definitely be worth going for overall the hat is very nice
