IrishGunner Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Well, as I am sure you know, Navy service cap. But from which country is the question. The eight-pointed star at the top reminds me of the Star of Ishtar; so, I'm guessing a Muslim country. I've eliminated Indonesia, Malaysia, and Turkey; at least as far a a quick Google search allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I wonder if it might be a merchant shipping company insignia. Somehow just doesn't look naval to me. Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 You know, now that I look at it again, it seems odd that the eight-pointed star is silverish in color and appears to be "pinned" onto the cap vice an integral part of the insignia. Even the anchor looks metallic and more "pinned" onto the cap than an integral part of the insignia. Only the wreath appears braided. I guess all that is possible, but shouldn't the cap insignia be all one integral piece rather than appearing put together? We may never find an answer on this one...

speagle Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Maybe this shot of the inside may help. Sorry I didn't think of it sooner. Edited June 20, 2018 by speagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speagle Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 Rick, the cap badge is all one piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 That eight-pointed star is the primary clue then... And Hugh could be right, a merchant or shipping line insignia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
