A textbook British Army other ranks field service side cap, complete with its original bi–metal cap badge of the Devonshire Regiment. The badge displays the regiment’s iconic castle emblem surrounded by the title scroll and surmounted by the King’s Crown, firmly attached to the cap.
This example is constructed of regulation khaki wool and retains its correct design features, including the double-button front (with both brass General Service buttons present). The interior shows a clear 1940 date stamp, along with size marking 6⅞, confirming early-war manufacture.
Condition is very good for its age, showing only light service wear and no moth damage. The wool body remains strong and clean, and the stitching throughout is intact. A genuine, untouched wartime piece.
