Hello Gordon: thank you for your responce. You are right about the material around the visor, is plastic, sure is a post war hat. What do you thing about the chinstrap (they are genuine leather), and the badge, is it really a veteran badge?. the wreath and cokade would be original? Sorry for to many questions, but I am learning to much from you. I spend $400 american dollars in this cap, is good enought for a postwar? Thanks a lot for your atention. Best regards. Daniel PD:I was presented the pics in the right way for the forum?
