Well Gent's,
I'm not sure if all this USPS business thats going on put a fire under somebodies Arse, But my cap that was supposed to be here this coming Tuesday showed up in Saturday's mail.
I was also watching the Grandkids Saturday, so I really couldn't take a great detailed look on this cap.
On USMF I was shown what a US Navy version of this cap looks like and the only difference is that the AAF used a sewn in Tag and the USN used to stamp the underside of the bill and sewed a cloth covering over the seams of the inner shearling stiching. Well when I got mine I gave it a quick look and found this.
Here is mine.
I think it is a US Navy version.
Here are examples of the Navy stamp that were shown to me.
1st
2nd
Its not the clearest stamp, But it is in the location of the other examples that where shared.
There are remains of a black colored tag still in the rear seam. I'm going to take a closer look at this today, I'm currently at work, so this will take place this afternoon/Tomorrow..
I will continue my Hunt for a USAAF Type B-2 but this will make for a nice addition to my collection. The leather is soft and flexable.
I have always wanted one of these. I'm a happy camper with this one, but will be very pleased when I add a nice AAF Tagged B-2.
It still looks great!!!
