Paul R Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Could it be a veterinary EM/NCO cap(slightly faded carmine)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lyons Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Hi Paul,The piping is definitely pink, no fading anywhere if the piping is pulled back to where the sun wouldn't get to,I have seen a couple of other caps with this piping in books (Moran & Maguire's headgear book is one of them)and they are referred to as Engineers, there would have had to have been some form of cadre personnel thatwould be doing their everyday work in filing etc, but I can't find anything at all yet on them.Regarding the cap itself, it nearly went back, but I have taken a punt on it, I must point out that Gene doesn't like thisone, but in fairness to the cap, I have also shown the photos of it to several others that are heavily into caps, (includingsome of the moderators over on the WAF) and they have all given it a thumbs up as to being a period made item, so I am continuing the quest on this one, I just can't give a definite answer at this stage.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
