If you slashed that it would cover your face.

Its a nice cap ,even if the peak is huge. The 50s style Officer caps did have rather large peaks. For a junior Officer as theres no silver on the peak which does help to disguise the size.

Yes, is a big peak (it looks like a duck peak!) and the small size of the cap makes the peak even bigger...but still a nice cap for my British collection. Thanks for your opinion!!

I think the photos distort the peak somewhat and it is a small size cap, which accentuates the size of the peak. A good cap however.
The badge looks to be an OR WM, not silver. How is it attached? You should be able to see the fixture underneath the sweatband.

I am not sure. I kept the cap in my holidays home so I don't have it in my hands in this moment...but I think is attached by a slide, not lugged.
When I come back to my "museum" I Will take better pictures of the cap to see the peak, and look at the system of the badge and the color ...

You can easily remove the badge for inspection, but I am sure it is an OR WM badge. Officer's badges for this cap should be silver or silvered.

A common OR badge. A proper silver officer badge should not be too difficult to find and restore the cap correctly.
