Help with officers cap

[bluerinse]

Hi I purchased this cap in Cornwall last week and I'm looking for help identifing, age and regiment etc any info welcome, the cap is in resonble condition with some sticking in the interior undone, it has a leather strip inside with " roam leather" stamped into it. Also there is a name and number written in pen on the inside of the leather, there seems to be a waterproof interior as well, will add photo of the name cheers all

Nice! A WW2 Artillery Brigadier or Colonel?

Parker, RA if I'm reading the band lettering correctly.  perhaps one of the UK members can suggest how likely it is that you'll be able to ID the owner.  I suspect, sadly, that there were very likely more than one and possibly more than 10 Col. Parkers in a copr that large!  A very quick Google turns up at least 3.

Bear in mind that this is a King's Crown - and therefore covers a long period up to 1952.

do you think finding it in Cornwall helps ?

cheers guys

From what I can see of the shape of the peak I would date this to late WWII or ealry post war into the early 50's.

Nice cap, any sign of a makers logo in the crown or behind the sweatband?

Hi Mervyn.

 

I am glad to be back, I had an operation, which was fine, also I changed browsers which meant I lost all my bookmarks and/or the passwords and also I decided to have a bit of a break from the forums.

Glad to be back with some new things to see here and also some my own to show and discuss.
