A genuine British Royal Navy Senior Officer’s Peaked Dress Cap, dating from the height of the Cold War era.
This authentic piece of British maritime heritage is configured for senior officer ranks—specifically Commander, Captain, or Commodore—as designated by the distinct gold oak leaf embellishments along the visor.
Featuring the Queen’s Crown (St. Edward's Crown), this cap represents the exact pattern worn by the naval commanders who led NATO task groups, hunted Soviet submarines in the North Atlantic, and commanded warships during the 1982 Falklands Conflict.
A prime example of late-20th-century MoD contract manufacturing.
This cap is in an overall very good Condition.
The gold bullion retains a striking lustre with only minor, natural age-related patina.
The structural framework is perfectly intact, the chin strap is pristine and the interior shows virtually no signs of active service wear a part from some pinching to the green leather lining underside of the peak.
Size approx: 58cms (UK Size: 7⅛)
