longwaterjim Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I have recently acquired a World War One AIF Service Cap, from the original owners grand son. Details on the paper below I put together for my collection. I was wondering if anyone knows where to get a 1 cm WW1 service cap button. The cap has no chinstrap but I think I have a good match. No rising sun badge but I have my great grandfathers badge from his time as a machine gunner in France which I will attach as I know it is authentic. I did buy some badges but with no measurements I bought the wrong size. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capsandtunics Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 this cap looks more like a ww2 drivers cap judging by the leather peak edge , and the map of australia button , ww1 general service cap had smal brown bakelite buttons , or british general sevrice buttons , or it could be a post 1917 cap as they were fitted with blackend map of aus brass buttons made by Stokes aust . coppper blackened buttons were made buy luke , or king buttons. post ww2 1925 to ww2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 The chinstrap in your last photo looks ok, just right. The badge may be ok also, or is it a collar badge? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
