Hugh Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I'm far from an expert, but this looks to me like US Army junior officer from about 1900 - 1930. What i don't understand is why it has the plain mohair* band, and not the branch color ( auf Deutsch, Waffenfarben) as shown in Stuka's example. Find the answer to that, and you'll probably narrow the time frame. Best, Hugh * If I remember correctly, the USA once classified mohair as a strategic commodity. Wouldn't want those boys to go hatless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 I'm not sure, but is the colored cap not used with bleu dress ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 It seems to me that long ago, the branch colors were seen on trouser stripes and NCO chevrons for the old dress blues. Also, as a center stripe on the gold braid for officers sleeves. I don't know when branch colors appeared on caps. We need someone with better data to get involved.

jonsey2001 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 The army shield is bullion and looks ok was it embroidered on the hat or a separate piece of cloth? Looks to be 1902 pattern dress cover for a regular officer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hello, Thanks The stars are embroidered on a seperate piece of cloth, but the eagle is embroidered on the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
