army historian Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Sorry, You have a newer frame "Bancroft Zephyr". Name goes back to WW2. But the inside of the cap has "Over 50 years" so is not WW2 frame or cover (removable), also possibly the black ribbon band. The Cap Eagle insignia could be WW2 - but that style is still produced today, the chin strap could be WW2. You still did not do badly - that cap is worth $30 to $40. If you are interested in old US head gear (Army and Navy) let me know, I have a very large collection, and prices would be reasonable. Also open to trade. email me for details. Captain George Albert
