This M 1902 visor is constructed in a lovely dark blue cotton and is in remarkable condition for its age. The outside of the visor has minor staining with heavy moth nips on the crown but no tearing present. The thin decorative chinstrap is complete and still affixed to the sides with state buttons which we do not believe to be for Pennsylvania. The front insignia is a lovely example of direct embroidery in gold
