Dear Gents 

I would like to know how we could differenciate an US NAVY officer visor cap(those called "Bell Crown" type) from WWI period and 1900/1914...were exactly same or we could see differences? 🤔

I know than those US NAVY caps changed in 1920 to a wider top but my question is how were before WWI(from 1900 to 1914)were exactly the same style and same regulations, eagle devices, hats sizes, buttons, chinstraps than 1914-1920, s ones?

Thanks for light me and please post your US NAVY caps from those years if you have it. 

Regards 

Fernando

Sorry... 57 viewers and no Navy men or Navy collectors among you than could explain to me how long were used in US NAVY those Bell Crown caps and how them did change since 1900 to 1920 when top began to be wider? 🤔

This should give you a Pre-WWI baseline it’s pulled from the 1913 regulations. Unfortunately I don’t have anything for the post war period. Can anyone else weigh in?
