WWII US ARMY OFFICER CAP EAGLE BADGE INSIGNIA

WWII US ARMY OFFICER CAP EAGLE BADGE INSIGNIA HAT MADE IN CHINA

The headgear insignia worn on the Service Cap of the Army Service Uniform of male and female Army Officers, both Commissioned and Warrant,

 is a gold-colored metal rendering of the obverse of the Great Seal of the United States of America, also known as the coat of arms of the United States. 

The insignia for wear on male Officers’ caps measures 2 and 3/8 inches in height, while the version for female Officers’ headgear is 1 and 5/8 inches high.

Unlike the cap devices worn by enlisted personnel, the Coat of Arms is unbounded, i.e., not placed on a disk (male enlisted), inside a ring (female enlisted), 

or surrounded by a wreath (Sergeant Major of the Army), and consequently is sometimes referred to as an “Officers’ Eagle.”
