Marking Query Re Fed Private-Purchase Forage Cap

[Bob George]

Friends:

Are original private-purchase Federal forage caps always marked with a maker's label?

Any originals observed without markings (similar to unmarked contract caps)?

Have paper labels (marker's name/address, etc) been observed in any orginal private-purchase caps? If so, what has been observed please?

Did individual tailors/hat makers (other than the large suppliers such as Horstmann, etc) make forage caps? If so, did the smaller firms mark their headwear?

Many thanks for any input.
