Brian Keith Posted June 1, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 1, 2020 Here is a Navy field cap in the collection of a museum I’m associated with. I think it is a very nice example. I haven’t noticed an example like this with a blue anchor on a white background on a green cap. I would be happy to learn the significands of this combination. Was the green cap only for ground based Navy sailors? Thanks for looking and for any information. BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Lukas Posted June 1, 2020 Share #2 Posted June 1, 2020 No significance with this variation insignia. The navy simply utilized surplus insignia. In this case an insignia originally designed for summer (white) enlisted cap. You will find a wide range of insignias that were used. Mid to late war the navy accepted all green tunics & caps dropping the black (winter) & white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
