U. S. NAVY M-1902 NAVAL OFFICER'S VISOR CAP WithBULLION CAP BADGE

This is an exceptional museum-grade original U. Navy M-1902 Officer's visor cap, a genuine piece of early 20th-century naval history dating to the World War I era. Now well over 100 years old, this cap represents the classic style worn by commissioned U. Navy officers during a pivotal period in American military history. The front is adorned with a beautiful bullion embroidered Naval Officer's cap badge, executed in gold and silver wire thread.

The eagle faces left, a correct and desirable feature seen on early officer insignia. The bullion work retains strong visual appeal and remains a standout focal point of the cap. As expected with an artifact of this age, the cap should be considered fragile. The top cover exhibits notable wear, consistent with long service and the passage of time. The visor remains in good condition, retaining its form and presenting well.

The interior no longer retains a leather sweatband, which is not uncommon for visor caps of this era and usage. The cap is maker marked by The M.

Columbus, Ohio, one of the most respected and well-known American military outfitters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This maker mark further enhances the historical significance and collectability of the piece. Despite its age-related wear, this visor cap displays extremely well and would be a worthy addition to a museum, advanced naval collection, or high-quality historical display. Navy officer headgear is increasingly difficult to find, especially with original bullion insignia intact. A rare and evocative survivor from America's naval past-don't miss the opportunity to add this outstanding piece to your collection. Problem or concern contact me and I'll make it right. Once feedback is received I will reciprocate.
