Originally established during World War I as a conventional engineer battalion that saw action at Saint Mihiel, Lorraine and Meuse-Argonne, the 307th would be reformed in 1942 as an air mobile engineering unit. The 307th would see action in Sicily, Italy, the Netherlands for Operation Market Garden and the general advance through Mainland Europe, switching between acting as engineers or acting as infantry as conditions required. The cap is OD green cloth construction, with red/white piping and a gold bullion on red patch of a parachute over "307" on the exterior and a brown leather sweatband on the interior. No maker's marks are present. Provenance: The Putnam Green/Sycamore Collection

A few small holes are present, otherwise very good.
