Pre-WWII NAVY Ensign Chapeau, Epaulettes, Belt for H. C. Laird, USNA Class 1935
Chapeau, Epaulettes, Belt in the Original Tin. USNA Class of 1935. A very nice grouping! In the original Tin case. The latch was broken off/removed at one time lost the key? , but they kept the latch fixings inside and the key is present. Chapeau is in used condition, showing some wear of the fur in many places (it was well used). Silk inside is intact showing spotting/staining (view all photos). I cannot find a maker for the hat on it. Creasing all along the hat band (see photos). The epaulettes are in very good, but used condition – some spotting on the gold tops (see photos), stamped “Made in France” underneath on the hook areas. The Belt is also there and is in very good / but used condition, showing wear and use as would be typical. The Tin is very nice overall, hinges working nicely, the black paint is scratched all over due to use, storage, and time, as well as having an “HCL” painted on the top and a large stain/dirt area. It needs a gentle cleaning. The key to the case is affixed to the handle by a WWII era shoe-lace. View all photos for condition.
