The crowns of these caps were relatively small and round, with a low rise in the front.

The crown is dark green wool and an oilcloth chinstrap which is held in place by two brass buttons. The visor is made of fiberboard of an angled squared design popular with officers, although it was not specifically prescribed in Army regulations. A brass and enamel M39 star is pinned through the band. Interior bears no visible maker stamp. Overall condition is very good in an approximate size 57cm 7 1/8 US.
