I have two Rcaf caps I picked up last night for a great deal. Both Named to John F. Bauckham. The peaked cap appears to be marked "Dr. John F. Bauckham" and he has written in himself in bold letters "S/L J.F. BAUCKHAM". On the wedge style cap it is also stamped Dr. John F. Bauckham and appears he has written in J. Bauckham. Now for the big questions... The wedge style hat appears to be ww2 and the peaked cap seems to be post war, most likely dating to the Korean war era. I say this due to the crown (wedge being kings crown and peaked being queens). What are your thoughts on that? Also any info on the guy would be appreciated. Also wanted to mention both caps have the same company's tag inside (see photos). Is it possible the peaked cap is ww2 then later on the band was changed to the queens crown? If this is the case would it make the cap more valuable?
thanks,
