WWII Japanese Type 45 Army Officer Visor Cap
Item #: WR882
This is a Type 45 visor cap worn by officers of the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. This cap is constructed of quality olive wool twill fabric for the top and body of the cap. The top of the cap has red piping, and there is a band of red wool around the bottom of the body of the cap. The visor is black on both sides, with the outside having several small cracks on it. The black chinstrap is complete, but does have a crack on the right side. It is retained by two brass buttons. There is only traces of the gilt the buttons originally had. Oddly, these two buttons are plain instead of the usual chrysanthemum ones found on most visor caps. The five point star is still centered on the front of the cap. Two brass vents are still securely in place on each side f the body of the cap. The inside of the cap is lined in grayish/blue silk fabric that has two sewn kanji characters in the top. The sweatband is fabric that has been painted black. Overall the cap is in very good condition. It shows evidence of having been worn, but is not abused. There are are couple of small areas of moth damage, but this one still displays great. This is a very good example of a WWII Japanese Army officer cap that will look great in your collection.
