digi-shots Posted October 5, 2020 #1 Posted October 5, 2020 I need some help on the piping or trim used on overseas caps for “Medical” troops. It is described as “Maroon and White”... is it checkered or striped? I have seen examples of both... wartime vs post war? Or enlisted vs officer? Here are two samples I found online that give a good image of the design. I believe these two are current reproductions but give a clear shot of what I mean. Thanks
Allan H. Posted October 5, 2020 #2 Posted October 5, 2020 The differences in piping are predominantly a manufacturer's variation. Both examples that you posted would be considered wartime era and are medical piped. Allan
digi-shots Posted October 5, 2020 Author #3 Posted October 5, 2020 Thanks, Allan.. you’re the best! I’m thinking of putting some items in a shadow box and thought it might look good to outline the inner frame with piping. I’ve found a few sources that sell it by the yard (checkered design).
