The top is a pre ww2 British officer service dress cap, and the bottom a ww2 era cap, both very interestingly repurposed with the addition of a different chin strap and insignia.

two very interesting british/belgian sd caps.
I don't know when they started copying british sd caps, but I have one dated 1951 which is in the british style, but made in belgium.

Very nice caps Hughes!
What is the cap badge on the second cap? Does the badge on the first cap have lugs or 2 prongs? |
