Inter-War, British, General Service, Cap, 1938.

The General Service Cap was produced from khaki serge material similar to that of the Service or Battle Dress. A brown leather chinstrap with brass buckles, which needed to be carefully polished, was held in place by a pair of small brass buttons. The wearers regimental cap badge was also positioned to the front centre. The caps had the capability to be ‘set up’ using a short flat metal strip inserted into a specially provided pocket inside the cap under the oil cloth sweat band. The metal strip was attached to an internal wire grommet that formed the shape of the crown of the cap, this allowed all the fabric to be kept ‘taught’ and uncreased.
In good condition it features its original leather strap, two small General Service buttons and is letter date stamped ‘O’ for 1938.
