The overseas cap is maker marked by the company of 'J.P. Mol' in Breda. The Regimental Numbers '16' are attached to the cap, this is indicating the 16th Regiment Infantry. The leather sweatband is in good used condition. There are some normal traces of usage, some staining, and a few small moth damages, see photos.
