any markings on the headband? I am surprised there is nothing there as the military examples I have seen always have markings on them.

the badge is 1950's, but the hat might be earlier, the carr aust popper is the same as the wwii type and might be wartime and early war they had the cloth trim, also the red brown vents are usually wartime but these can be faked by repainting them.

I think the pug is 1960's era.....
