Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:215236 | Modified Item: No |
| Country/Region of Manufacture: Unknown |
Up for auction is a South Vietnamese-style boonie hat made from original ARVN Airborne pattern ERDL or "leaf" pattern camouflage fabric. Unfortunately I have no provenance on the hat itself, other than the fact that it came from the estate of a major collector of US military uniforms and head dress. Fabric appears original to me. Has theater-made Snoopy "Ace" patch on the side, US flag patch on the front, and South Vietnamese flag on the back, plus chin strap with clear plastic "keeper..." as was found on caps made during the war. Lined with OG twill fabric. Size is probably 7 or smaller. Interesting item.PLEASENOTE: I will not accept or honour bids from anyone with entirely-negativefeedback, or from any established bidders with an excessive amount of negativefeedback.
