    Description

    Nice original British Army Officer's uniform side cap to an officer of the The Duke Of Wellington's West Riding Regiment.  I believe these side caps were worn with the Officer's Patrol Blues order of dress in lieu of a visor cap.
    Dark blue soft wool material with gilt thread cording to the top of cap - a wire thread West Riding Regiment sewn on officer's cap badge and both original small silver elephant on brass buttons present.  The cap has a bit of fading to the dark blue - with a bit more fading on the non cap badge side and some age patina to the gilt cord work on top.  No noticeable holes or moth damage that I can see.   Displays very well!
    The inside lining with velvet material sweat band and makers sewn in label is still present:
    Herbert Johnson Ltd. 13 Old Burlington Street London W1.
    A very nice looking -  very good well made quality officers side cap.  I am not sure of the age if just after WW1 to before WW2 time period??
