Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice high quality WWII Army Officer visor cap, in very nice olive green wool felt, with an OD Green band. The cap is outfitted with high quality brown finished leather, including the visor, chin strap, and sweatband. This visor appears to have been unissued and is presented in near mint condition.

The cap features the correct U.S. Army Eagle on the front of the cap, and matching chin strap buttons. The celluloid sweat shield on the inside is intact, however it has turned orange, as they often do. There is no manufacturers information present, only the size stamp 7 ⅜.

Condition of the cap is very good overall, with a minuscule amount of mothing on the crown, and a great look. A very nice example, ready to display!

The peaked cap, service cap, barracks cover or combination cap is a form of headgear worn by the armed forces of many nations, as well as many uniformed civilian organizations such as law enforcement agencies and fire departments. It derives its name from its short visor, or peak, which was historically made of polished leather but increasingly is made of a cheaper synthetic substitute.

The term forage cap is also used though that also applies to "field service cap" or the side cap.

Other principal components are the crown, band and insignia, typically a cap badge and embroidery in proportion to rank. Piping is also often found, typically in contrast to the crown color, which is usually white for navy, blue for air force and green for army. The band is typically a dark, contrasting color, often black, but may be patterned or striped.

In the British Army, each regiment and corps has a different badge. In the United States Armed Forces, the cap device is uniform throughout every service branch, though different variants are used by different rank classes.
