A SIZE 7 1/4 GENUINE ISSUE WWII M1943 O.D. COTTON FIELD CAP WITH VISOR. IT IS OF A COTTON POPLIN CONSTRUCTION WITH FOLD UP WOOL LINED EAR FLAPS.
THIS IS THE EARLY 1ST PATTERN VERSION OF THE M1943 WITH 2 METAL VENTILATION EYELETS ON EACH SIDE OF THE CAP.

THE EARLY VERSION HAS THE INSTRUCTION LABEL SEWN INTO THE INSIDE OF THE CROWN WHEREAS ON LATER MODELS THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE SIMPLY IRONED ON IN BLACK PRINT. THESE CAPS WERE A STANDARD ISSUE ITEM IN THE ARMY AND WERE WORN IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE M1943 FIELD JACKET.
OTHER THAN A FEW VERY SMALL NICKS TO THE WOOL ON THE EARFLAP LINER THIS CAP IS IN GOOD USED CONDITION. THERE ARE NO APPARENT TEARS OR FIELD REPAIRS.
