HG-9 Sexy Army Other Ranks Extramütze (Private
Purchase Visor Cap), Medical Personnel
This is a nice looking piece, made of a good quality Enlisted grade
Trikot wool. It has a neat, crushed back look with the front panels pushed
backward towards the peak, and the original owner also attempted to add the pinch to each
side of the peak point. The cap has suffered some mothing and has a couple of
small holes present near the edges of the top panel, along with a small one on
the front just above and to the right of the eagle – though not especially noticeable. The cap band has a patchy appearance where sections of
the felt nap have been eaten away by insect vermin. This is definitely noticeable, but really does not detract too badly if you don’t focus on it.
This cap has a fairly pointed peak, though the pinched sides keep it relatively low. The cap is very nicely piped in a medium blue for Medical personnel. The
insignia is a matching metal set in zinc, with the eagle still retaining a majority of the aluminum wash, the wreath however, is matte grey (no finish
remains). The patent leather Other Ranks chinstrap is in good shape with surface
crazing. The visor has a tad of wiggle play, but remains pretty secure. The
surface has fine crazing and a little dab of tan paint on the left edge. The
underside is dark reddish-tan. The approximate size 57 dark brown natural
leather sweatband is in excellent condition with only light soiling. The reddish-gold ribbed rayon lining is heavily soiled except where the moisture
shield was once in place (lighter here). A decent cap that has suffered somewhat, but still looks pretty cool.
