    Hi,

    I am offered this very mint artillery cap. It seems to me it's ok, but I haven't seen comparable ones.
    Any opinion on it ?

    Also, I am questioning about the rank of the owner. Could it be a sub-officer private purchase cap ?

    Unusual sweatband attachment, and I always get concerned when the celluloid sweatdiamond is missing from a mint cap.
    Can we see under the sweatband?

    Now that you say it, it's indeed surprising that the celluloid is not present.
    I could get the following detail pictures. There are no ink stamps behing the sweat-band and very little of worn evidences on the front of the visor.

    Curious to know your opinion Thank you !

    It might come across different in hand, but just based on the photos I'm not comfortable with it.

    I am on the fence with this one--it is unconventional, and even if original you will have problems down the road when you go to sell it.
    I personally would pass on it, and wait for a more standard one to come to market.

    I'll follow your advise and pass to avoid having doubts.
    Many thanks guys.
