Original U.S. WWI Marine Corps P1917 Rubberized Rain Cap French Antique Guns Operations and concurrentlyOriginal Item. Only One Available. Here is a scarce piece of USMC headgear we have never had before, a P1917 Rubberized Rain Cap. These are very scarce and this example appears to have had an EGA affixed to the front at one point. This would look phenomenal with one affixed. There is a faint stamp on the interior reading: UNITED STATES RUBBER CO. CONTRACT NO. DEC. 13, 1917 U. S. M. C. The cap is in great shape overall and the lining is well retained.
