South African Prisons / Justice Senior Officer’s Visor Cap – Henochsberg Johannesburg

An original Republic-era South African Department of Prisons / Justice senior officer’s visor cap, tailor-made by M.J. Henochsberg, Johannesburg. The cap is produced in brown khaki wool with a dark green felt band and features a high-quality bullion-embroidered badge showing the scales of justice above an open book, set within a laurel wreath and crossed batons, denoting senior departmental authority. The peak is fully bullion-embroidered with protea and leaf motifs, indicating field-grade or director-level rank. This pattern was worn in the 1960s-1970s by senior staff within the South African Prisons/Justice services.
