Item Description
Original Items: Only One Set Available. This is an beautiful excellent condition Imperial Japanese Army Officer Parade Dress Visor Cap, one of the few that we have managed to obtain in our many years in business. These are quite a bit harder to come by than the service caps, as in general they were only able to be acquired post war during the occupation, and they were much more likely to be retained by the owner. This cap looks to be for an Army Officer, most likely a Rikugun-Chūsa 陸軍中佐, equivalent to a Lieutenant Colonel.
This is a gorgeous cap with five bands of gold "Russia Braid" trim at the bottom, which we have seen attributed to Lt. Col. ranked officers. If it goes by the same way that the sleeve insignia do, this should be for a Lieutenant Colonel, but it could also be for a Major, if the first row of piping is "standard". It features a patent leather style visor and chinstrap. Complete black silk lining with a sweatband. Part of the sweatband has come off and is hanging. It is in very good condition overall, and comes complete with the red and white feature plume that slides into the front badge.
This is a lovely cap offered in very good condition. Comes ready for further research and display.
