A genuine, World War II-era South African Union Defence Force (UDF) military beret / General Service (GS) cap. This is a fantastic piece of local South African wartime history, featuring classic local manufacturing indicators that make it highly collectible.
Key Features & Details:
Official Property Mark: Clear, hand-stamped broad arrow enclosed inside a "U" on the inner lining, definitively proving official issue to the South African Union Defence Force.
Distinctive Construction: Features the textbook South African wartime diamond-quilted padded lining, paired with a brown leather sweatband and rear size adjustment ribbon slot with brass grommet.
Unit History: The front shows original pinholes where a metal regiment cap badge was once mounted, ready for a collector to restore with a period-correct UDF badge.
Condition Report: The cap is in good, authentic vintage condition. The leather sweatband and quilted lining are entirely intact. The brown wool body shows some localised, minor moth grazing and small pinholes consistent with age. It has been kept in a clean, smoke-free environment. A wonderful addition to any WWII South African military headgear or uniform display!
