Default Guards button on a Kenya made officer cap?
Bonsoir,

I discovered this morning in a gun show, this Nairobi made officer cap. It looks like a 40's-50's However, I'm little bit surprised by the leather chinstrap button, is it a generic Guards model?




Thank you for your help

Valery

I'll bet that hat maker hasn't been in Kenya since the 1970s.
