VTG US Navy V-5 Pilot Training Garrison Cap Olive Drab Wool Military Hat WWII

Vintage US Navy V-5 pilot training garrison cap in olive drab wool. This authentic piece of military history features a hand-sewn Navy V-5 patch on the front, representing the Naval Aviation Cadet (NAVCAD) program. The interior is lined with a satin-like fabric and includes a leather sweatband. Notable for its personalized history, the name is handwritten on both the lining and the sweatband. The cap shows significant signs of age and wear, including multiple moth holes throughout the wool exterior and wear to the leather band, making it an excellent candidate for a restoration project or a rustic display piece for collectors of WWII-era naval memorabilia.
