BRITISH WWI ROYAL ENGINEERS CAP WITH COVER.

An extremely nice condition all blue full dress hat for a Royal Engineer officer either late WWI or just post war period with its tropical cover. The cover is in excellent condition apart from one 1.5cm round hole to the cover on the left hand overhang. Standard narrow early WWI chinstrap with Royal Engineers side buttons. To the interior the light tan Morocco sweatband all intact with good colour, its very high quality red silk interior lining all complete and not shot with a very nice quality gold blocked upper inner lozenge label, which is slightly adrift from the main crown, which reads ‘SILBERSTON LONDON’ then the retailers name of ‘J.C.McLeod Hatter Union Chambers Building, 48 Union Street, Aberdeen’ with no postcode. We mention the fact of ‘No Postcode’ as postcodes were not introduced into the United Kingdom until 1918.
