Royal Bucks Hussars Visor Cap

Acquired this cap recently ( yeomanry caps are hard to come by) a rare cap with a crown in a contrasting colour.
Not certain of the date, but the regiment was converted to artillery in 1920. |

Thanks much David.
These Yeomanry caps are quite hard to find. |
very nice and I would think the cap is pre 1920, from the shape of it, the chinstrap etc
|
Great cap ,very interesting colour combination. I take it the top is blue/black ?

I can't think of another British cap that has the crown/ top in a contrasting colour to the body. Found it on Ebay. |

The cap definitely looks pre-WWI; unfortunately, the label has been obliterated. It has no mothing whatsoever. |
Great find. Ive never seen another like it. I wonder how long the cap remained in those colours ?

Cap colours
Bucks Yeo in 1904 went from green to blue uniforms so your cap would have been used then, but only for a couple of years as it looks like they went to standard blue and red 1906ish
