The Loxton Morris Baggy Green: 1947–48 Australian Test Cap Owned And Match Worn by The Legendary Sam Loxton and Gifted to Arthur Morris

This specific cap carries a provenance that transcends the field; it was personally gifted by Loxton to his teammate and fellow "Invincible," the great Arthur Morris. This exchange between two icons of the game's golden era imbues the item with a unique "player-to-player" history, representing the deep bonds formed during Australia’s most dominant period in cricket.

Features & Details:

Era: 1947–48 India Tour of Australia (The series immediately preceding the 1948 "Invincibles" tour).
Design: Classic dark green wool with the Australian Coat of Arms embroidered to the front.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition, showing authentic signs of match use.

Provenance: Originally issued to Sam Loxton; subsequently gifted to Arthur Morris. This cap comes from the personal collection of the Morris family.

Historical Context: Sam Loxton made his Test debut during this 1947–48 series against India. Arthur Morris, one of the greatest left-handers in history, was the leading run-scorer of the subsequent 1948 tour.

This is not merely a piece of equipment; it is a relic of the "Invincibles" era and a testament to the mateship that defined Australian cricket in the 20th century. A blue-chip investment for any serious collector of sporting history.

Significance of the Cap

The "Invincibles" Connection: While this cap is from the 1947–48 series against India, it belonged to the core group that would become the 1948 "Invincibles." Collectors view the 1947–48 series as the literal "birth" of that legendary squad, making items from this window highly sought after.

Sam Loxton’s Debut: 1947–48 was Loxton’s debut series. Debut caps are historically more valuable as they represent the beginning of a player's international legacy.

The Loxton-Morris Link: In the memorabilia world, "Association Pieces" (items passed between famous figures) command a premium. Arthur Morris is a Hall of Famer and a member of the Australian Team of the Century. The fact that he cherished and kept Loxton’s cap adds immense "story" value.
