NCO's Cap: Help Please

[Larry F.]

Hi Guys:

Here's another cap picked up from my neighbor a few years ago. He served in WWII as a combat infantryman and "liberated" this somewhere in Belgium so he says.

I believe it's an NCO's Pioneer Cap. The original eagle was on the cap but broken. I added the one you see but still have the orginal.

Can someone please confirm what this is?

Thanks.

Larry
