Congrats! I have been kicking myself for not seeing this sooner on Dan's site! Was wondering who got it! In my opinion it's a neat officers variation. I believe caps stripes are factory applied. What's unusual is the diamond. Most of these just had ink stamps. Caps bevo insignia is correct for officers.

Thank you Jareth,In your opinion Has the extensive wear on the lower part of the anchor emblem been caused by the wear of this cap under a helmet by the front liner pad?? Regards,Geoff

Heres my cap. It has sweatband and the stripes are sewn the same way.
Just in case you weren't aware, the hat is named to:

Geoff that would be speculation as to what caused the wear. Your cap is extremely similar to Guntos. Your black stripes have faded & just overall wear

Hello Gunto! Very Nice cap! Perhaps this is not just an improvised Officers cap but a distinct Model Variation.Perhaps time will tell.The diamond patch is not a version I am familiar with. Regards,Geoff
-
Just a variation Geoff. Diamond labels are usually only found on officers gear such as caps & tunics

Beautiful cap Jareth! Thanks for the pics! Any Idea when they stopped adding the vent holes? Regards,Geoff
