Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice condition U.S. Army Infantry Officer's M1902 visor cap in very dark blue, intended to be worn by Officer's for dress and parade occasions. This example is particularly well made, with the officer's front insignia FULLY HAND EMBROIDERED in gold and silver bullion. Even the E PLURIBUS UNUM motto is embroidered. Officer's caps were usually privately purchased, and this officer apparently had a lot to spend.
The cap features a patent leather covered visor, probably supported by pressed paper or fabric. The brown leather sweatband is stitched to the body of the hat, and is in excellent condition, with a size stamp reading 6¾. The crown of the cap is lined with black satin fabric, and is marked as follows:
WM. H. HORSTMANN COMPANY
TRADEMARK
PHILADELPHIA
The front of the cap bears the correct gold U.S. Army Insignia, with a gold bullion adjustable chinstrap with two U.S. Army side buttons. The cap has the correct gold bands around the body for an officer, with an "Infantry Blue" central band, the "Branch of Service" color for infantry. Some light moth damage but nothing too serious.
A great opportunity to pick up a rare cap from the WWI Era!
