Default 1916 Soft Cap Lothians and Border Horse
I am pleased to have added this to my collection. A Lothians and Border Horse soft cap. This cap introduced in 1916. The liner of this one has been removed.

Very nice indeed. First I have ever seen. But it needs the badge, which is as common as the cap is scarce.

A great find indeed, could you tell me if the blue band is sewn to the cap or just secured by the chinstrap buttons, it appears from the photographs to have a seam at the rear and wondered if it could be removed if required?

Regards, Simon.

That's what I thought Jerry but also appears to have had the chin strap buttons pushed through the band.
