FROGSMILE Posted 10 February , 2019 Share Posted 10 February , 2019 (edited) "Civil War"! Which civil war, some perspective would help a great deal? What Nationality do you think the cap is? Do the buttons on the side have any markings, front, or rear? Edited 10 February , 2019 by FROGSMILE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FROGSMILE Posted 11 February , 2019 Share Posted 11 February , 2019 (edited) The makers stamp suggests a French or Belgian uniform cap but not necessarily military and it is not blocked like a kepi. The small metal numbers might suggest railways, or even police. Belgium adopted khaki as a uniform colour for its Army mid way through the war.

Marilyne Posted 14 February , 2019 Share Posted 14 February , 2019 I've seen this ... pretty sure it's Belgian... let me make some enquiries. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyne Posted 16 February , 2019 Share Posted 16 February , 2019 Hi again, according to the person I reached out to, it's Belgian all right but not military!! It might be the sort of caps given to tram conductors, the number being the line number on which he worked on. At least that's one possibility. M.
