British
Officers’ Peak Caps of the Second World War |
|
|
British militaria, in particular officer’s peak caps, have been
largely overshadowed by the interest surrounding Third Reich
military collectibles. To the untrained eye one British cap may
appear much like another, however this area of collecting is highly
specific and can be quite complex. This encyclopedic introduction to
British officer’s peak caps clarifies important details such as
branch and rank distinction, and identification to a particular
period. The author also explores the caps’ history, giving key
introduction and alteration dates, as well as a long list of known
outfitters. With over 250 photographs, illustrations and original
period imagery, you will observe the sometimes subtle differences,
characteristics and changes in the caps’ development. This essential
guide also explores the interconnected and relevant subject of
Commonwealth and post-war caps, while also giving useful information
on care and display. Size: 9″ x 12″ | over 290 color and b/w photos, charts, drawings | 176 pp ISBN13: 9780764345784 | Binding: hard cover See the Schiffer Publishing Website Forum Member :
