It just screamed for a chinstrap and sidebuttons.

[Jareth]

Majority had smooth brass buttons with backing washers and chinstrap with metal slide buckles

Congrats Gunto on a very nice cap. The photo below shows an example of correct style button and chinstrap style (black for yours) that would have probably been on yours. Nice score.

I got that with the plain brass chinstrap buttons.
Got som closeups of some photos with some blue navy caps with felt anchor , they got the same chinstrap as on the po/of visor caps.
I dont get why my cap schould have a metal buckle , thourght it was only on green caps?

[Jareth]

No, on early navy caps ( yours is) the black/ dark blue & green NLF caps had metal buckles on chinstraps.
