Chinese Army Enlisted Visor

Chinese Army Visor Cap

This is the peaked service cap worn by enlisted soldiers of China's People's Liberation Army with the dress and service uniform. It is genuine issued headwear, which is why collectors, reenactors and film and theater wardrobe departments look for it over a reproduction. The olive green crown, red piping and enameled star badge are the details people recognize from parade grounds and period photographs.

Features

• Olive Green Crown — The wide, flat-topped crown is covered in smooth olive green cloth that matches PLA service dress.
• Red Crown Piping — A thin line of red cord runs around the outer edge of the crown and stands out against the green.
• Enameled Cap Badge — A gold-tone badge on the front carries a red enamel star set on a turquoise enamel disc.
• Bayi Characters — The star bears the characters for "8-1" (Bayi), marking August 1, the founding date of the People's Liberation Army.
• Wheat Ear Wreath And Gear — Sheaves of wheat frame the star and meet at a gear at the base of the badge.
• Black Chin Strap — A black strap crosses the front above the peak and fastens at each side with a gold-tone button.
• Glossy Black Peak — The stiff black visor, the brim at the front, has a high-gloss finish typical of formal service caps.
• Genuine Issue — This is original Chinese Army headwear, giving collectors real provenance rather than a copy.

Issue And Specification

The cap follows the classic peaked pattern: a broad crown held up over a fitted band, a black chin strap and a rigid gloss peak. The front badge is the army's own emblem, the red Bayi star with wheat and gear, finished in gold tone and colored enamel. Pair it with a PLA service tunic for a complete display or reenactment uniform, or show it alone as an example of Chinese military dress.
