Original British WWII Era Army Lieutenant General Major General Dress Peaked Visor Cap by Herbert Johnson of London

Original Item: Only One Available. Here we have a lovely British Army Officer's Dress Peaked Visor Cap, intended for a Lieutenant General or Major General rank. It has the correct double row of gilt raised bullion oak leaves across the peak. Higher ranks would have a double row of bullion oak leaves, while lower ranks would have just a bullion band. Dating from WWII, the size is roughly a 7½, rather large.

The front has the correct Lion over a Queens's Crown over a wreathed sword embroidered bullion badge with red felt for the crown. The interior features a sweatband reading Real Roan Leather. There is a maker’s label in the crown reading:

BY APPOINTMENT
HATTERS

The cap is in outstanding condition with the leather chinstrap held in by two gilt General buttons, depicting a crossed sword and baton surrounded by laurels. The underside of the sweatband is inscribed 798 W / VIOLET.
