Unable to reply to posts on this thread, I retire in confusion.
thank you Bob, very nice indeed.
It is almost identical to the example I purchased, though mine does not have the sticky brown crown lining, instead it has a clear "plastic" sheet.
Same as yours except mine is hatters to the king and I think yours is hatters to the late king george VI?

Whatever its just an opinion.
Nice one, Jerry. I can't really read the label, do to the carmelization, which leads me to believe my cap was made a bit earlier than yours.
I'm thinking early 1950's, whereas yours may be from the early 1960's.
The 11th of course amalgamated with the 10th Hussars in 1969 & my understanding is that as of 1962, all cavalry officer dress visor caps had the bullion edge to the peak, regardless of rank.
Getting really hard to find these unamalgamated cavalry regiment visor caps. I'm on the lookout for Yeomanry officer caps, and they are even harder to find.

I don't think so Bob, yours is hatter to the late king george VI, mine is hatter to HM the king so has to be George VI when he was still alive.

Bob, your is on 4 lines which is the late the king version, mine is three and is clearly hatters to the king
