WW2 Royal Navy Junior Rating's Peak Cap
Fresh to the market and recently discovered in a house clearance along with a Chief Petty officer's cap (see item 51185) and some Combined Operations items, this confirming that the small size cap is 100% WW2 and not from WW1/post WW2 period.
The deep navy blue wool crown is in very good order with no moth holes just a single trace of tracking which is hardly noticeable (best to mention), the red embroidered badge is also in very good used condition and has a concealed needle/pin tucked behind the badge, a pin was also found on the CPO's cap and possibly put there to stop any movement in the black banding.
The peak has a distinctive down turn which adds to its charm, the chinstrap is present and undisturbed, the liner shows signs of much service use and hair cream/oil, leather sweatband missing but easily replaced if required.
Left as found apart from a light dusting, size approx.6 3/4, please study the images in regards to condition.
