Weird Overseas Cap
This was too weird to pass up. High quality wool in a medium blue (darker and less gray than Luftwaffe blue, and lighter and less "black" than Navy) with gray piping. The edges of the tricolor ribbon were metallic silver or gilt but are now green with verdigris.
The style reminds me of American veteran's organization hats. The vet I got it from absolutely insisted that he'd brought it back at the end of W.W.2., and every other item he had was legit. However, I'd love some validation from somebody who has seen this insignia or usage before. Better yet, how about an ironclad i.d?
