Just a few things wrong with is one.

The crown should be quite flat where the very deep bash is.
The Rising Sun is a WW 2 issue.
and the "Kangaroo feathers" are on the wrong side of the crown.

Just for starters.

Bump !!

hi phil
i agree, this is probably not a ww1 hat but you said crown is not high enough at the front. what do you mean by this? surely with the many different manufacturers and personal bashing of hat there would be variations? or do the crowns vary from period to period?
you also say its a ww2 rising sun, but what makes this a ww2 version?
cheers
