firebird_one Posted May 20, 2012 Share #1 Posted May 20, 2012 Hi, Are there anyone that has a original boonie hat with this type of size tag? On all my other original hats there is a 8415-935-6659 nr below the DSA code. Best regards Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capa Posted May 21, 2012 Share #3 Posted May 21, 2012 Ken, I don't own an original boonie, but here is a similar label from one that looks legit. Depending on the source, I do know that most repros have Made in the USA or something like that printed on them. Have you googled ECT corporation? I am interested to see what you find out.

patches Posted May 21, 2012 Share #4 Posted May 21, 2012 Yeah this one is good, I have two with by the exact same maker, but mine are slightly differant in that the tags are sewn down and are not hanging free, with one of them having a brim less broad like the OD boonie caps brim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebird_one Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share #5 Posted May 21, 2012 Hey Capa, I have googled but I cant find any size tags that looks like that, They all have a second row number so it feels like this one isnt right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebird_one Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share #6 Posted May 21, 2012 Hey Patches, Any chance you could post pictures on your tags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted May 21, 2012 Share #7 Posted May 21, 2012 Firebird Sorry I dont have that capability, Mine are from the same maker E.C.T. and do have the second line it reads 8415-935-3314 on the both, the DSA # is the same as your however DSA 100-69-C-0225, it possiable the lack of this second line on yours is just what ? varient perhaps ? an omission ? for instance the other tag look spot on, mine are the same, with the the same large number stamp, in this case on has a -12- and the other -10- The key here is WHAT do you feel the tag is made of, if it is soft and smooth like I dont know, like a nylon feel, then yes it is a repro tag, a repro tag at any rate, the Tags on these hat are of a fine coarse, the ends of which can fray easly enough.

Bob Hudson Posted May 21, 2012 Share #8 Posted May 21, 2012 The reproductions I have seen do not use an actual government contract number - they often look like the real thing, but I can't recall one using an actuall DSA number - and if you were going to fake it, what not just fake the long stock number too?

BEAST Posted May 22, 2012 Share #14 Posted May 22, 2012 The Imperial War Museum has a couple of E.C.T. Corporation boonies in its collection. According to the description they are still in the original wrapping. http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/30098420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
