WWII US Public Health Service Officer’s Visor Cap (Unusual) Eagle in Bullion
Embroidered World War 2 US public health service officers visor cap eagle in bullion on mohair cap band. Details on the eagle that are not the usual style found with small head looking upward higher than the typical eagle found on these cap insignia sitting on shield with Caduceus behind, including red thread tongues on the eagle and serpents.
The Caduceus features a staff entwined with two serpents and is sometimes topped with wings, representing Hermes/Mercury in Greek and Roman mythology. It was adopted as the symbol for the U.S. Army Medical Corps in 1902 and still in use today. This variant's unusual eagle posture makes it a distinct and desirable piece for a specialized collection.
