coastie Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted January 8, 2007 Lucky find there! Like Lloyd told ya, those are RARE! Like I said earlier I didn't know what it was at first, it was unusual for a hat cover to have the band and eagle attached. When I looked inside at saw a sweat band and the cross piece with the name on it I said I had to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
