VMI88 Posted November 22 #1 Posted November 22 I recently picked up what appears to be an NVA boonie hat. It's a small size, completely unmarked, and seems to have a crinkly plastic layer sewn between the inner outer fabric and liner. The seller didn't seem to know a lot about it but said he had gotten it with a set of black pajamas that he no longer had. This one matches the pictures of wartime hats I've found online (including this forum) but I know there are reproductions available on eBay. What I don't know is how good the reproductions are. So is this a genuine wartime NVA boonie hat? If so, what do they go for? I may be interested in trading for something that's more in my wheelhouse.
RAB Posted Saturday at 03:00 AM #2 Posted Saturday at 03:00 AM Looks ok to me, i have a green one just like it, I think this style was made in china and sold/imported to N Vietnam for their military to use. I dont think theres really any replicas out there with the rubber sewn in the crown. As for value id say around $150 + or so? -Ryan
