My Japanese Visors

[Peter A Larson]

Here are some pictures of my visor caps. I believe there are 2 officer, and 1 enlisted cap. I based this on the chin straps, and chin strap buttons. The center came with another cover to go over the existing hat. The existing 1 does not come off, the other just goes on top and has 2 small snaps. Now for my question. The 2 greenish caps, I believe 1 is a school boy cap, but is the other? I thought it might be a field uniform cap. I cant get the insignia clearer, as I have to shrink the pictures to 65% of what my camera takes to post them and they distort. If too dark, I can take some outside tomorrow. Thanks, Pete

Caps

Pete,
The pictures don't give me a good look.....can we see the interior.
The green caps apear to be civilian syyle but the civilians "gunsaku" who worked for the army as JAG and several other jobs also wore similar hats. I know it's a problem better pictures would help make an ID.

Peter,

Thanks for posting the photos of the visor hats.

Insofar as the insignia that are on the two green colored hats, I have not seen the insignia with the wreath before while the insignia with the star, which looks like it has a kanji in the center of the star, is typically associated with school insignia.

Hope this helps.

Caps.....

The two green hats appear to be civilian or civil service type. The two hats in pictures 9 and 10 are probably cadets of some type......picture 11 this is most likely an officers cap.

Thank you guys, I was pretty sure the green visors were both schoolboy visors. the other 3 are probably as John says, cadet and army officer.
