This is a post-war cap. If you ask him to fold down the leather sweatband, I' be willing to bet that there's a stamp under there that dates it to about 1947.

Nice catch! How could you tell?

The color of the cap body, the width of the band, the plastic lining in the crown, and several other things. Of course, I could always be totally wrong, but I like to impress myself by thinking I've held enough of these caps to be able to tell the difference by now.
