Canadian The Perth Regiment Scottish Khaki Balmoral Size 7 1/4 Dated 1948

This item is an original Scottish khaki Balmoral bonnet issued to The Perth Regiment of Canada, sized 7 1/4 and dated 1948. The Perth Regiment, a reserve infantry regiment of the Canadian Army, has a history of incorporating Scottish dress elements as part of its regimental identity. The Balmoral is a traditional Scottish cap, typically made from wool and featuring a toorie on top. This example is constructed in khaki to match postwar Canadian military dress regulations. The inner lining displays manufacturer markings along with the size and clear 1948 date stamp, indicating post-Second World War production. Such headgear would have been worn for ceremonial events, regimental parades, or other formal occasions by members of The Perth Regiment. The condition and authenticity of markings provide a reference point for collectors and historians interested in Canadian military dress and regimental history during the mid-20th century.
