New Zealand Service Dress Cap
Hi
Can anyone help identify the era of this cap, which is in remarkable condition. It has a high rigid crown supported by a metal spring at the front. The underside of the peak is lined with a similar cloth as the cap and there is a pair of metal vents holes on either side. The inside lining is a a silk type material and is stamped with the manufacturer's name, Hills Caps Ltd Wellington. The cap badge is the NZ Rifle Brigade on a NZRB Brigade HQ colour patch. Cheers John |

The company's still going by the look of it - might be worth giving them a call or sending an email with photos of the cap

The cap is post war circa 1960s.
Badge will be genuine but flash reproduction. Overall a made up cap. Barry |

Hi
Any thoughts of the type of NZ badge that could have been worn on this type of cap? Cheers John |

Any corps or regimental (except WRNZAC) badge could have been worn on the cap.
