Manchu Warrior Posted October 24, 2015 Share #1 Posted October 24, 2015 I found these two caps in the past week. I know the one cap is obviously a USAF enlisted cap and because the tag has no date on it I believe it dates to the early 1960's. Its not real clear in the photo but the top has thin blue stripes on it. As for the other one, I am not sure if the garrison cap is USAF. I believe the tag dates to the 1950's and it is blue and it says US Property on it, any ideas? I paid $8.00 for the both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyboy53 Posted October 24, 2015 Share #4 Posted October 24, 2015 Good catch. The women's visored hat is Vietnam era -- and may have been worn until the early 1970s. The striped material matches a summer two-piece uniform that used to be called "cords." Take off the insignia and look to see if it is stamped "G.I." The flight cap is from the late 1950s to early 1960s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flight cap is from the late 1950s to early 1960s. It is in fact marked GI and it also has what looks like a JS below the GI. The DSA line doesn't have a year so doesn't that date the hat to the early 1960's? I appreciate the information. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted October 25, 2015 Share #6 Posted October 25, 2015 Fiscal year 1966 will have a DSA 100 prefix and no date code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyboy53 Posted October 26, 2015 Share #8 Posted October 26, 2015 If the device is marked "G.I." there's a good possibility that hat was the one issued the wearer in basic training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
