Any makers marks impressed in the leather sweatband?
A complete lack of makers marks is unusual for officer's caps (because they were all tailor made). Yellow lining with no makers marks is usually other ranks (because they were generally issued, and made in bulk on government contracts), but this does not have the usual tellerform shape of such caps.

The interior is commensurate with what I would expect to see as is the underside of the visor.
I think it is really very difficult to be certain with anything these days without an in hand inspection unless the source is reputable.
War is when your government tells you who the enemy is.
Revolution is when you figure it out for yourself.

Robert,
I see the area you are talking about. It looks like there was once a sweat diamond there, of the right format. But still, ask the seller if there are any impressions in the sweatband.
This sort of piece needs careful examination.
David!

Robert, another thing to look for is cross hatching impressions on the underside of the visor.This seems to be an important characteristic of period caps. Good luck!

This is a good period piece from the pictures provided. No issues here. It is possible that it has been upgraded to officer status but one would have to examine the cap in order to determine. It was not entirely un common practice, especially if it was an officer grade material NCO visor cap. cheers and regards, Ryan
