Too Much WW1 Militaria Posted April 29, 2016 Share #1 Posted April 29, 2016 Figured I'd post some of my WW1 bell crown covers. First up the Chief's. I think I have one of every variation. From L-R Summer white, working tan (aviation), blue, and aviation green (believe this is for ADM Plunkett's Naval Battery, have never seen a Chief aviation green coat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themick Posted April 29, 2016 Share #6 Posted April 29, 2016 Beautiful collection of hard to find bell crowns (or, as my career Marine Dad used to call them, pee pots.) I have a question on the aviation green cadet one. Is the bullion insignia part of a removable band that fits around the entire cap? Thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too Much WW1 Militaria Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share #8 Posted April 29, 2016 Steve, It is a removable mohair band. Every one that I've ever seen has been, which makes sense, since upon comissioning, he could just swap out the bands and not need a new cover. I've found that cadet covers are harder to kind than officers, but don't command the premium for some reason. I'd love to find a WO cover. There was one on e-bay about 6 months ago that I was the under bidder on at $800 + John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
