Complete period groupings like this are exceptionally difficult to find, and this is among the most complete Flight Ace sets from this era currently represented on .The cap features the classic white crown, dark blue band, black visor with elaborate silver bullion-style oak-leaf embroidery, silver cap cord, and large U.S. officer eagle insignia. The interior retains the original Flight Ace trademark branding.Included in this sale:* Original vintage Flight Ace officer visor cap
* Original U.S. officer eagle insignia
* Original Flight Ace / Ace Manufacturing Military Cap box
* Two original Flight Ace branded protective plastic bagsThe cap presents extremely well for its age. The white crown remains attractive with minor age-related discoloration/marks consistent with vintage storage. The dark blue band, visor, silver embroidery, cap cord and insignia all display beautifully. The original cardboard box shows expected age, storage wear and deterioration, but remains intact and is an important component of this unusually complete grouping. The original plastic bags also show normal age and storage wear.The original packaging is a major part of the collectibility here. Most surviving Flight Ace military caps are encountered individually. Finding the cap together with its period box and branded protective packaging creates a much more compelling display and preservation piece for the serious U.S. militaria, USAF uniform or vintage military headwear collector.Please review all photographs closely, as the exact cap, original box and original protective bags pictured are included.A rare opportunity to acquire a remarkably complete Flight Ace officer cap grouping rather than another loose example.
