paul kennedy Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 This is a Japanese cap I have in my collection. I don't know a lot about Japanese headgear. I mainly collect British militaria, so I wanted some input from the forum about this cap. Thank you, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
