This hat has all the characteristics of a general's visor so if the chin cord is the only issue then I can live with that.
I was under the impression they could come that way with the leather chin strap being a bit more rare if you will. Now I need to find those pictures I had of generals with this sort of strap. I know I have seen it in use before but I need to find those pics. When I do I will post them or if anyone else has any fotos of this style chin strap please post them. Thanks Clete
Clete,
If this was the entirely olive drab green G.O. "field" service cap I would certainly agree with you. As you know, those used the "flat" leather chin strap that was also dyed olive drab green.
