France, Fourth Republic (1946–1958). Colonial Administrator’s cap, in accordance with the 1933 regulations, formerly owned by DILLIER PATAS. It features a removable cap top made of fine national blue cloth. Oval front insignia embroidered in gold cannetille on a midnight blue cloth background, depicting a crescent surmounted by a spread-out naval anchor, arranged in accordance with regulations “straddling” the band and the brim, and attached (sewn) to the band. The headband is embroidered with intertwined oak and olive leaves in gold cannetille along part of its circumference—a length of forty-one centimeters—and, at the top, with two cords and a wolf’s-tooth-patterned band in gold cannetille. Rigid black leather visor edged with a black plastic trim, with a black underside. Chin strap made of twisted, gilded braid with two sliders, fastened by two small gilded buttons stamped with the body’s motif: a spread-leg anchor and a crescent. Black satin inner lining with, at the back, a rectangular plastic insert protecting a woven fabric hatmaker’s label reading “Mon MARONNAUD Valon 62, Avenue Bosquet Paris” and a black leather sweatband. There is a paper label affixed to the protective plastic at the back of the crown reading “DILLIER PATAS.” Slightly worn. (Signs of wear and age. In good condition.) Provenance: Pineau Collection.
