Canada. A Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps Forage Cap, c.1944

This fine quality cap has a 45 mm wide maroon wool band, with the body of the cap fabricated from a black wool, in the traditional flat top design with raised peak. There are two black metal eyelets on each side of the cap on the underside of the overhang for ventilation. The front is adorned with a 32 mm (w) x 44 mm (h) bronze gilt Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps Cap Badge with King's crown. The black patent leather visor has a black two-piece patent leather strap resting along the top edge, held in position via brass Canada General Service insignia buttons on both sides. The underside of the visor has a hunter green synthetic finish, the visor itself very stiff. The 43 mm wide sweatband is fabricated from chocolate brown leather, with the two ends held together by a white ribbon which is finished in a bow-tie. The front of the sweatband over the visor has an additional reinforcing patch of black deerskin leather stitched to the leather sweatband, aiding in restricting sweat from the wearer's forehead. The sidewalls and dome are covered in a moisture-resistant fabric, with a "Stokes CAP & REGALIA LTD. TORONTO ONTARIO" manufacturer's label placed in the dome under the moisture-resistant covering. The visor and strap exhibit very light crazing. Overall, it continues to exhibit smooth quality in the wool, plus quality workmanship, intact stitching, maintaining its original period look, extremely fine.
