Hong Kong Police Inspectors cap. This is a rare one, a genuine Hong Kong Police Officers cap. Obviously, Hong Kong is now back in the hands of the Chinese. These genuine caps are hard to find ! This cap belonged to a friend of mine who was a Police Inspector. He left Hong Kong in the 1980's to join the British Police Force.
