Original WW2 Auxiliary Territorial Service Peaked Cap

An original Auxiliary Territorial Service Peaked cap which dates from the Second World War.

This pattern of cap is the Second Pattern issued to the ATS during the Second World War and features a brown leather chin strap rather than the earlier serge type. A brass ATS pattern cap badge is fitted to the front of the cap and it features a rayon lining as is standard with issue caps and a hard peak which has a green underside. The peak has some shaping to it which is typical of issued caps. 

The cap is a small size of around a 6 3/4 but will fit on a display head.

The condition of the hat is good overall and it displays nicely. The serge still has plenty of its nap and the interior only shows signs of wear. There are a couple fo small holes etc which are illustrated in the pictures. These are most notable when the skirt is folded down and not noticable when the skirt is in its usual 'up' position. Please study the pictures and remember that this is an issued, pre-worn item of over 70 years old.

All in all a nice WW2 period example of this pattern of cap which is becoming increasingly hard to find.  

This is a vintage item which is 'sold as seen'
