WWI British / Trans-Jordan Frontier Force Lieutenant Officers Kalpak W/ Emblem “Very Rare”. The hat seems to be in good condition with some loss of wool in areas but overall intact.

This was the British unit created after WWI to patrol the relatively lawless Eastern part of the Palestine Mandate. the force had less than a dozen British officers and the rank and file were Arab. The rank and file wo...re the well known 'checked table cloth' - a shammagh [turban] in red and white check with a camel hair cord, called an 'aggal' The hat is made of a very expensive fetal lambs wool which is especially soft and warm. This Particular example was worn by a higher ranking lieutenant. Colonel [later General?] John Baqot Glubb - "Glub Pasha" - was the founder of the Force a noted British "Arab-phile".
