The 1930s enlisted man’s standard issue kepi, also known as the 1935 pattern, was similar to the officer’s “polo” kepi worn before WWI. This example features a dark blue cap band and a madder red turban. The chinstrap and visor are black leather. Manufacturer stamps on the interior indicate is was produced in 1936 in Nantes.
