Cap Canadian unissued 1952

These are common in Canada and very had to sell, I use them for the chin strap if I come across a nice hat that is missing one.

Common yes but still a must for any Canadian headgear collector I have a couple Dean and they were rather cheap to purchase but look good displayed.

I also picked up one these at a local vintage fair last year, appears unissued too, the buttons on mine seem to be plastic.

Hi Rene not much more info to add than has already been mentioned above the cap peaked winter seen very limited use during the Korean War but were heavily used in Canada and Germany until the mid 1960's. until they were replaced as part of the new battle order.
