re: Can anyone Identify this military style LSU cap?

construction, it appears to be an interwar period (1919-1939) dress hat for an Army officer. Surplus items would have been used by ROTC programs. A commissioned officer example from that same time period (very similar in structure to the one in your picture) can be found at this eBay auction that has concluded.

Definitely a later period but agree that it's an officer's by insignia. The issue is the maker of the hat being only known to make band uniforms, the gold cord and color of the hat doesn't match LSU ROTC colors.
Examples are these hats are much closer. Same maker and are band director or band officer designed. Just trying to figure out what group wore this at LSU. Plus if you look at LSU pics from the period they were very in line with the US Army..probably not using band caps with incorrect colors. LSU's ROTC was pretty on point back in those days. Plus the maker only wasn't in business that early on...I believe they started in 1940.
