Antique British Frontiersmen cap

This is an original Legion of Frontiersmen dress cap from the 1920's/ 30's.

This Legion of Frontiersmen Dress Peaked Cap is a fine example of a post 1905 dress uniform peaked cap in dark navy blue / black cloth with yellow piping to the crown. Oakleaf embroidered central band with brass regimental cap badge. Thin patent chinstrap and side buttons. Interior retains the original leather sweatband. Some light service wear but generally a good example.

The Legion of Frontiersmen is a civilian organisation formed in Britain in 1905 by Roger Pocock, a former constable with the North-West Mounted Police and Boer War veteran. Prompted by fears of an impending invasion of Britain and the Empire, the organisation was founded to be a field intelligence corps that would watch over and protect the boundaries of the Empire. Headquartered in London, the Legion of Frontiersmen formed branches throughout the empire to prepare enlistees for war and to foster vigilance in peacetime.

In good vintage condition. Size 6.7/8 inches. Name Johnson written on the sweat band. Great collectors piece.
