I've been searching for fuctional gear to bring "foward" with me to Afghanistan and happen upon this cool original Herringbone Twill (HBT) Cap. You've got to be a serious collector to pay this much scratch for a Marine Corps "Cover" - not sure if they were called "Cover's" back then, but that's we call our uniform caps now.
$455 / 25 Bids

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment Patrick!! I did some research, because your comment made me realize that it's about time I try and learn the history of my own military services equipment and not just vintage clothing. Turns out the cover is from 1944. I went ahead and added a picture of the tag.
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
Cheers!!

John,
ReplyDeleteThat filthy HBT cap I showed you that I scor4d for $15 at the Bowl, was a P44 the same as this, under all that dirt was an EGA, the sad part is that when I put it in the sink for a soak, the fabric started disintegrating, and now its ruined.
I guess you win some, and you lose some.
It was great to see you and the wife though.
