WWII British Merchant Navy Officer`s Peaked Cap

A good honest WWII British Merchant Navy Officer`s peaked cap that was recently discovered in a house clearance, this example is in good used condition with a couple of minor stitched repairs to the dark navy blue crown, the bullion MN badge is in good order and not disturbed.
The early style silk liner is also in good order but now slightly grubby from wear, the leather sweatband remains supple and bears the faint handwritten name of the Officer which reads as D or O.F.Hollingworth , there is some additional larger lettering present but again very faint but believe it to read SIGNAL TRAFFIC, the cap is an approx.size 7.
The cloth covering to one of the small side buttons is now partially attached and there are two very small moth nips present to the navy blue woollen crown but hardly noticeable .
The images do not do justice to this cap as looks far better in the hand and with a story to tell.
