Australian Field Service Cap

[OldSteel]

Hi all,
I have this Australian Field Service Cap, looks good to me, but I would like your opinions and get some more information about its use in the Australian Army.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Cheers
Roberto

Roberto,

It looks good to me too but saying that, I have no experience with caps and am going by its visual appearance, guessing it's unissued with storage rust. Jerry would know but I haven't seen any of his posts for a while so hope he's ok. Rene too I'd have thought so hopefully he'll see it and comment.

Yep all good and a not a commonly/popular worn cap-- good score as these are not too easy to find these days (well in my book)
These were nick named C*nt caps down here due to similarity to a certain part of the female anatomy hehe
I don't think by memory I've post my caps here but here's a vague reference for Aust uniforms etc.. Australian Collection

Thanks for information Renè and congratulations for your wonderful collection.
Then I did not know the "anatomical" comparison......hahaa!...Soldier's fantasy.

Very fine example from the period just before they introduced State letter & maker's number code. Does anyone know what the F/I\S broad arrow mark is for?

It's an inspectors stamp

Thanks Rene, British inspectors stamps were much thinner than this so that's why I asked about it.
