Original Items: Only One Grouping Available. This is an excellent pair of Overseas Caps, often referred to as a Side Cap or “Garrison Cover”. A side cap is a military cap that can be folded flat when not being worn. It is also known as a garrison cap or flight cap in the United States, wedge cap in Canada, or field service cap in the United Kingdom; or in vulgar slang as a cunt cap. In form the side cap is comparable to the glengarry, a folding version of the Scottish military bonnet. It has been associated with various military forces since the middle of the 19th century, as well as various civilian organizations.

The Caps In This Lot:

- Brigadier General (1 Star) Cap In Size 7 ½”: Wonderful condition with the proper gold piping for General Officers. The cap does have a lovely WWII period single star, though due to the lack of wear behind the insignia, it does appear to have been added, though it is still correct.

- Colonel (Full Bird) Cap Tailored by Lewis in Approximate Size 7: Wonderful condition with the proper gold/black piping for “Other” Officers. The cap does have a lovely WWII period “Full Bird” Colonel insignia which does appear to be period applied.

A lovely pair of items that come more than ready for further research and display.
