The service cap badge was the simpler oval badge with no leaves (the oval centre peice of the cap badge shown. The badge shown on the cap here is a parade cap badge worn with the wave green parade cap worn by officers.
The enlisted man's cap did indeed have a smaller crown (from 1970) and displayed the familiar red star and wreath. This also doubled up as the parade cap for enlisted men.
I wouldn't buy this cap - I would wager that it is post 1991.
in fact it's dated 1986 !!!

anyone has got one for sale ???
