IJN officer's white deck cap for review.
I'm new to Japanese collecting but believe its a repro...
Am I right?

Yes, repro, has the Nataka stamp inside.

That's 100% repro. That symbol inside the hat is "Nakata Shoten" symbol.

Nakata Shoten is a shop in Tokyo that sells reproduction military items.

plus having a European size is a give away

Thanks I figured so...The seller (on Ebay) of course put it in the ww2 original items section...
