Looks like an Officer's ( Brigadier/Colonel ) dress cap. Artillery.........?

unfortunately some one has scratched the name or service number off I'll have a good look later and see if I can make anything out .

Bargain for 5 bucks mate. Unusual to see an officers cap with a WD acceptance stamp, Aussie Dept of Defence in this case.
