This one came out of a metal suitcase full of war souvenirs bought from the veteran in about 1985. Doesn't appear to ever been on a head. .......... |

Great hat, great score--you just don't find those "treasure chests" nowadays.
Did you get everything in the trunk?!

Ron has found some amazing veteran finds and this is one of them. Very nice and very under appreciated cap.
Cheers, Pat

I'm glad you posted this one Ron because I think a lot of collectors would run a mile from pebbled sweatbands.
The fact that it's chocolate brown and doesn't match the paint under the visor would also be a worry I would wager?
The problem with those concerns though is that they are wrong!
This cap is 100% authentic.
