The cap features a large silver-tone eagle badge marked “POLICE RESERVE” with an Arizona state seal medallion at the bottom. The interior retains its original custom tailor label reading:

Tailored by Lancaster
The combination of the Arizona badge and Phoenix uniform supplier strongly supports its connection to Phoenix, Arizona law enforcement. Based on the badge style, we believe the cap dates to around the 1970s; however, the exact date has not been independently verified.
This is an original vintage piece showing wear consistent with its age and previous use. The exterior shows general wear, while the interior lining has noticeable staining, discoloration, tears, and deterioration. The badge and hardware also show age-related patina and wear.
Please review all photos carefully for the exact condition, markings, and everything included.
