If original then that is a M1955 infantry officers parade cap. The thing is they are being maunfactured in great numbers now so you have to be really careful.
Check the inside if you can (or get pictures) there should be a fair amount of wear. If itlooks brand new then I would not pay more than £20.

fake M1955?
"If original then that is a M1955 infantry officers parade cap. The thing is they are being maunfactured in great numbers now so you have to be really careful."
i was curious where you heard they were making large numbers of fake M1955 items? this would seem odd as the originals are very available and don't sell for much. DougD |

I have never heard of a fake M1955 hat. I think $50 would be a great price for it and $100 still fair.
To make a fake you would either need to make the hat badge and leaves out of very high quality thick brass like the originals or substitute easy to spot cheaper aluminium. Shawn |
