    Hi Carlo,
    Looks good to me My Officers has the same type of waffle pattern. Or close to it.

      Carlo, there's nothing wrong with your cap....the previous owner/collector may have been a smoker thus the 'yellowing' but beyond that the cap is great.

      The eagle (IMO) doesn't seem to have been moved up and likely has been in position from 60 years+!

      I especially like the 'fingerprint' produced by the bug bite and the chinstrap button prongs
      Regards,
      Dave

        Carlo Dave it right, great cap. I agree with his smoke theory. As a smoker I would say that is a 2 pack a day +60 year look.

          I have a pre-WWII white USMC Officer's cap that looks the same way.

            No problem Carlo, not only Stonemint appreciate your cap. I love it too and would have it in my collection.
            It is the first time that I look an original cap with horizontal sweatdiamond. Great find!!!!!
