The baggy green is adorned with the Australian cricket coat of arms, with "1947-48" embroidered underneath. The 1947-48 contest against India was Bradman`s final home Test series before retiring in 1948 with a career batting average of 99.94, earning him the reputation as cricket`s greatest batter

The cap is now part of the National Historical Collection in Canberra, where it will join other artefacts connected to Bradman, including a bat he autographed during the 1934 Ashes Test at Trent Bridge. This latest addition is one of only 11 known Bradman baggy greens still in existence, making it a rare and invaluable acquisition
