Iraninan Naval Cap

[WPS2018]

Hey guys!

Just got this in the mail. Pretty excited about it. From what I know its an Iranian naval cap, however, the era is unknown along with the writing on the tally.

Couple questions; Is this from Shah's Iran pre-1979? What does the tally say? Is it authentic?

P.S the white part of the cap is leather.

Interestingly enough the today's Iranian Navy's logo consist of the same word (the first one). I feel like its a simple word, but I didn't score anything on translation sites.

Magnificent.  What era is it? I am guessing 1970-80's, based upon similar examples from other countries.   Honestly, this is the first I've seen.  Congrats.

I don't speak Persian, but based off just reading the inscription, the last word looks like "شاهنشاهي" (Shahenshahi "Imperial")

So definitely pre 1979.

I believe it's a 1970s era. I figured it'd be from pre-1979. I'm pretty excited about it. I'm going to post a closer pic of the marking inside. There is English and Farsi on it with the Iranian city of Abadan marked down. For some reason, it strikes me as a British influenced cap.

The literal transliteration from farsi is "Imperial Naval Force". It is a hat from Imperial Iranian Navy.
