An unusual British Army Sandhurst Military Academy Pill Box With Chinstrap
An original Royal College Sandhurst Pillbox hat, sometimes referred to as a 'sports cap', dating from the early part of the 20th Century.
This style of pillbox hat became fashionable in the British Military in the late Victorian period but was retained in some of the more traditional factions well into the 20th Century. The hat is made from red and white sections of wool cloth whilst the interior is lined with a pinstripe material, the same as that used on the linings of mens suit from the period.
Made by Hobson & Sons and named to A T Conay or Coray
One side of the chinstrap is a little fragile so care needed.
In generally nice condition - some minor moth trails.
