To identify possible ww1 field service cap
I've researched British, Canadian and Ausie caps for ww2 and later and can't find a match. Ive got a gut feeling this cap is ww1 or ealier. During my research I noted that there were some teritorial units wearing khaki F/S caps with a coloured panel. Can anyone tell me what regiment or corps this cap belonged to please?

Re: To identify possible ww1 field service cap
Looks WWI British to me. What are the buttons and are there any markings inside? Its a WWI English style that was copied by the Americans. When you say "colored panel" are you refering to a white band around the bottom of the cap? If so, that would be RFC/RAF aviation cadet.

Re: To identify possible ww1 field service cap
Sorry for the delay in my reply. The cap in question has no buttons and only the ghost of a badge. Its silk lined, typical officer, fine quality kd material. The coloured panel in question is the crown of the cap which is royal blue. The material of this pannel is fine wool. Ive researched as much as I can and I'm tending to think this is a victorian era cap. Any info would be greatly appreciated. There is nothing worse than not knowing the origins of an item!

The cap heldunkle posted looks identical to the one posted just a few moments ago, minus the buttons. I would say that it is British then..

Re: To identify possible ww1 field service cap
Thanks for the info and pics Croix. The ghost of the badge on my cap does match an rfc cap badge perfectly, so the cap may well be an rfc cap. I'm still puzzled over the royal blue crown of the cap though. Never seen an rfc cap like mine....or any cap like mine for that matter.
