Description

British Victorian era kepi, c1900s, light brown body with centre woven thread button on top, light green trim around top edge and light green headband, Victorian Police commissioned officer's bullion badge (1890-1901) on light green background at front, leather brim with bullion decoration, leather sweatband and patterned material lining. A few defects on brim and edge colour worn from underside, otherwise very fine.

This kepi is a military issue with an attached Victoria Police badge on incorrect background material. Officially approved replicas of this badge were made in c2006, perhaps this is one of these.
