Hi Guy's,
I'm looking to buy this cap and Steve has been kind enough to post it on the forum for comments. I would appreciate your views.

Regards
Irv

Looks good, private purchase floppy cap with football buttons, narrow chinstrap with diamond sliders, short peak, padded lining. Ticks all the boxes for such caps IMO. I did see it when it was still listed and I was tempted but I am too skint at this time otherwise I might have hit the buy it now button, also a used example with its original badge would be more in keeping with my interests these days.
