easterneagle87 Posted October 24, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 24, 2018 Was at the local flea mart last weekend and while digging in a box I found this cap. A bit beat and some light mothing, but for $20 I could pass it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbuehler Posted December 30, 2018 Share #9 Posted December 30, 2018 And it has the remains of his name stitched on the outside, another indication of a cap that was actually captured (or worse, I wont elaborate ) in a combat area. Looks like the moths have had at a bit too, but nonetheless, the real thing from battle fields, not an unused cap taken from stores in occupied Japan like most.
