This is an original WWII issue early war, grey Naval Officer’s overseas cap. The Naval grey uniforms were issued for only a short time, and thus grey uniforms items are always hard to find.
The Halsey Grey Uniform was only in use for 6 years from 1943, to 1949. Really only wore for 9 months in 1943.
