Skyline Demi in “Army/Navy” configuration
This is one of the nicer ones I’ve owned, features an uncommon wide cap band (meant to be engraved on) with an Army-Navy color configuration. The idea was that the cap originally red and white stripped with a Navy Blue body and Derby Cap dome would be capable of being worn by a serviceman regardless of the branch of the military. Course after 70+ years the white turned into sort of a green color, I’ve not seen an example of this that has remained white.
