Vintage 1940s 50s BSA Boy Scout Uniform Lot Merit Badges Sash Cap Socks For Sale

Vintage Boy Scouts of America uniform accessory and merit badge collection, believed to date primarily from the late 1940s–1950s based on the style, construction, insignia, and merit badges.
This is a nice group of original mid-century BSA material being offered together rather than separated. The lot includes an official BSA overseas/garrison-style cap, merit badge sash with badges, additional loose merit badges, long Scout stockings, and vintage suspenders/braces.
Included in this lot:
• Official Boy Scouts of America khaki/olive overseas-style cap with red piping and embroidered BSA fleur-de-lis/eagle emblem. The inside retains a faded original ink stamp identifying it as Boy Scouts of America, along with additional faded manufacturing/inspection markings. The cap measures approximately 10½–11 inches long when laid flat.
• Vintage BSA merit badge sash, approximately 30 inches long, with 7 period merit badges attached.
• 7 additional loose vintage merit badges, for a total of 14 merit badges in the collection.
• Pair of long olive/khaki Scout stockings. These show considerable age and use, including discoloration and an old repaired/darned area.
• Vintage green suspenders/braces with metal clips/hardware and leather reinforcement pieces.
The merit badges have the older khaki/olive twill construction with embroidered borders and designs associated with mid-century Boy Scouting. They display a variety of traditional Scouting skills and activities.
