Hello everyone:
I could help date this hat?. I think it may be the period 1959-69, but the crown being made of cotton I have doubts. I also doubt arises from the presence of the red star of 31 mm. The diamond interior is unreadable (there are only letters yccp)
What do you think?

As far as I am concerned, it appears be a nice and authentic cap with the correct type star and chinstrap that dates from the aforementioned period. :thumbsup
Thanks for your comments.
Had difficulties to date this cap. As you can see the model is exactly like the special forces dating from 1955 that he illustrated. But there are two differences that make me doubt: the cap is made of special troops in wool, it would be older.
However the star (the special forces) is more stylish and it would be more modern.
That is a part to be manufactured in cotton cap infantry could be more recent but the oldest red star ... pufff :confused::confused::confused:

Not necessarily - Gabardine, which is a woolen weave fabric, also referred to as "diagonal wool", was used, but less than napped wool in the fabrication of many caps throughout the years.
