Hi

Can I get Your opinion about this cap? Cocardes looks to be repainted, cap IMO is ok but what do You think about regiment stamp inside?

yes I know, II Battalion
but the stamps are real ?

The number "1" is offset from the rest of that stamp line. I think it may have been added. The ink does not seem to match either. I.R. 147 was not founded until 1897, at which time, this style short visored cap was pretty much passe. Why someone would add the "1" is anybody's guess, but I think this cap started out as one from I.R.47.

How common is it to see visors with this kind of black sweat band? I am used to seeing brown ones.

[Brian Calkins]

I agree. It looks like a replacement to me, but who knows when?
