Union Defence Force tropical visor – Dugson Johannesburg

This khaki cotton visor cap originates from the Union Defence Force of South Africa during the Second World War, produced by Dugson in Johannesburg. Its features include a double-vented crown, reinforced peak, brown leather chinstrap secured with side buttons, and a full leather sweatband. Inside, the maker’s mark ‘Gold Medal Product – Dugson Johannesburg’ is clearly stamped, with remnants of a 1940s date visible. The front badge is absent, though stitch outlines suggest prior insignia attachment.
