Rogatywka field cap

[wizardman]

I was hoping to get some help on dating this Rogatywka. Also the eagle looks strange, is this normal?

[A.J. Zawadzki]

The eagle is a Polish Armed Forces in the West pattern that has been sewn onto a post war Soviet occupation era field rogatywka. So it is technically a mismatch.

Thanks mate. It really strange, its the third of its kind ive found in Australia. One side cap and two of these, all have the same liner and eagle, both the field caps were identical. Someone must be mocking them up using the same technique.

The field caps are mock ups for certain. The FS cap likely also as metal eagles are typically used exclusively with these. Fabric eagles are most commonly found on berets and GS caps.

This rogatywka is probably post war wzór 1949.
