British WWII ski/mountain cap, used post war as well, I have a 1943 dated and issued example with added sheepskin lining

scan is from Brian Davies seminal work

The Royal Malta Artillery wore something similar in Germany in the 60's when forming part of the 1st Corps BOAR.

The cap badge is fake with the goggle eyed antelope.

I would suggest this is a made up piece.

the cap is fine, just has a fake badge put on it, pay the price for the hat with no badge, in that condition about £20-30 imo
