Victorian 1896 Other Rank's Pill Box Cap

A scarce late Victorian other rank's pill box cap bearing a good, bold,War Department issue stamp and 1896 date, the cap remains in good firm order but the black coloured body has suffered from much insect tracking & nips especially to the crown area along with having one minor hole.
The khaki brown herringbone twill banding along with its matching crown button are still firmly attached but with some light staining, couple of minor nips/holes , I have not yet identified which troop squadron, battalion or regiment this cap belongs too, possibly a rare example.
The thin leather sweatband is present, the chinstrap and one attachment hook now absent.
Sorry UK sale only.
