Default Khaki cap
Bought the cap in the pictures this morning. it is by Hobson and Sons of 154-164 London Bridge.

It looks to me very much an RAF other ranks cap except for the khaki colour, after considerable thought, the idea it might be an AA partolmans cap came into my head.

Any other thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks

P.B.

Its just a stab... Peter.

PL. ..the Rifles Cap today is a Green with black band....... so hence the stab.... a "little book of calm" might help.

and there it is ... well done Paul.

Funnily enough some years ago I found a very similar cap but blue with a scarlet middle and a black band and buttons. It contained an PAOLIY collar badge in the cap.

Thanks for the offer of the little book of calm (which I actually don't need). The Rifles cap is not GREEN , it is RIFLE GREEN which Is entirely different from the khaki green of the AA Patrolmans Hat
