This cap is an authentic antique piece being sold **AS-IS for parts, restoration, or display**. Please review all photos and the specific flaws detailed below:

* **Wool Body & Top:** There is active moth damage, including a through-hole on the top crown near the rim (see close-up photos), along with surface grazing and general dust/soiling consistent with age.
* **Piping:** The red wool piping along the top crown exhibits heavy wear, fraying, and loss where the wire has pushed through.
