GPW visor cap buttons?
At least that's what I'm told.
No image of the reverse yet. I've not seen prongs before but I'm no headgear expert.

They could be GPW or postwar; your buttons are identical to the ones of my M55 cap. If there are no pics of the reverse there is no way to tell.

Gracias! I presume the reverse should have some sort of marking if not a date code? If I get a reverse image I shall post it here.

Eric,
Wartime buttons should have a blank reverse if Soviet made, or have the name of the US or British manufacturer if land-lease. Marc |
