A wartime officer’s service visor cap of the Imperial Japanese Army (陸軍将校制帽, Rikugun Shōkō Seibō). Constructed in field khaki wool with the distinctive red band, denoting army service. The front displays the classic five-pointed star insignia, the standard emblem of the Imperial Japanese Army. Side buttons feature the traditional cherry blossom (sakura) motif, and the cap retains its original brown leather chinstrap secured with metal buttons.
Interior shows the expected period wear, with its original leather sweatband and lining still intact. The visor exhibits honest service use, with visible scuffs and patina consistent with age. Despite the wear, all original elements remain present, making this a desirable and authentic example of a WWII Japanese officer’s service cap.
