WWII Japanese Navy Officer Visor Cap

The blue wool visor cap of an Officer of the Imperial Navy, this cap with its removable white cotton top. The black wool body shows no damage or mothing. The black leather visor shows typical age crazing. The ribbed white top has the expected spots and surface soiling. The black leather chin strap is secured with gilt officer buttons bearing the anchor and chrysanthemum. The front of the cap displays the nicely toned gold bullion insignia of a naval officer. The interior has the large purple silk lining seen in officer’s caps, with the officer’s name embroidered on the lining in kanji. Overall very good condition.
