Original WW2 Royal Pioneer Corps (Labour) Coloured Side Cap

Code: 10536

An original World War Two era Royal Pioneer Corps Coloured side cap, often referred to as the Labour Corps.

The cap is made up of a two colours, maroon and bottle green, and follows the standard construction of forage caps from the period. As is usually the case with these hats it is private purchase meaning that the quality is somewhat better than that of a standard issue khaki example.

The cap comes with an original brass cap badge and to brass general service buttons are present on the front of the cap. The hat has two slits in it for the cap badge; the one in which its located in the pictures, and another infront of this.

The hat is a small size of around a 6 5/8.

The cap is in good condition with some signs of wear but nothing to serious and no signs of any real damage or moth. The interior also shows some signs of use but overall the cap displays very well indeed.

A nice original and uncommon forage cap which would be a nice addition to any British Army collection.
