Very faded cap. You can see the difference from the interior in the side view photo. I have no idea what it says in the interior.
Late war cap. Unissued.
Thanks for showing them Paul , very nice to see them
REGARDS AL
We are the Pilgrims , master, we shall go
Always a little further : it may be
Beyond that last blue mountain barred with snow
Across that angry or that glimmering sea...
Excellent hats!
I recognize the last cap by the wear on the brim, I was a former owner. I don't think it was unissued, due to the wear, maybe the owner just didn't bother to write his info in there or used some ink that washed out. I know when I was in the military we were supposed to mark all our kit, but outside of basic training we sometimes never got around to it.
Really great bunch of caps Paul! I love the heavily faded Petty Officer cap in post 5!
Regards
Russ
