Not what it is claimed it is....

Another mis identified item on E.

Called by the seller an M1935 Marshals cap, which were made, this is not one of them. A real one would not have the gold chin cord ( not even around until 1940; this one looks postwar or atleast 1945) nor would it have the M1940 generals cap cord buttons!!

Also, if you look close, you can see where the M1940 generals cap badge was taken off (probably broke off) and replaced with an officers cap badge.

so, yes this would be a very rare hat if it were what it claimed to be.

i e-mailed the seller and he said that he relied on the word of the consigner; he offers a lifetime gaurentee which is amazing since he does not even know what it is.

To me, the cap crown looks too wide as well for this period.
