Default Ever so slightly post Great War Sailor's Cap.

My latest find in its original hat tin. The tin does not conform to the earlier pattern that had a small brass nameplate fixed to the top of the lid. This one has to make do with the owner's name, C.C. Parker, scratched into the lid. Luckily, there is some accompanying paper work which shows that the original owner was SS/191854 Stoker Clarence Colvin Parker.

The cap itself has been heavily blancoed and has had the cap tally removed. The last cap tally worn by Stoker Parker would have been H.M.S. Wallflower and I would imagine that an original tally will be hard to find.
