Original Wwii U. S. Army Overseas Cap 4th Infantry DIV (veteran-era Patch)

Offered is an original World War II U. The cap displays a 4th Infantry Division insignia, which appears to be a post-WWII veteran-era addition. Division shoulder sleeve insignia were not regulation on overseas caps during wartime service, and this example is best interpreted as a legitimate postwar personalization by a WWII veteran, likely for stateside wear, reunions, parades, or keepsake purposes. This is not a modern reproduction and not a reenactor-modified cap. The 4th Infantry Division insignia is believed to be postwar, added by the original owner or veteran.

Embroidery and thread show appropriate age and wear. Sewn directly to the wool (not glued or heat-set).
Adds historical interest but is not a factory WWII configuration This cap should be described as: Original WWII overseas cap with later veteran-era 4th Infantry Division insignia?? No major moth damage Very minor moth marks.

Interior clean for age See photos for full condition details - this is an untouched vintage piece, not restored or altered. HISTORICAL CONTEXT The 4th Infantry Division is one of the most historically significant U. Army divisions of WWII, famously landing at Utah Beach on D-Day (June 6, 1944) and serving with distinction throughout the European Theater. Veteran-personalized items tied to the division are highly collectible. Please understand a cap this old is going to have imperfections. There appear to be multiple moth marks that do not go all the way through.
