Kadet Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I got these two caps recently in a WWII 506th PIR estate group. He was an early paratrooper, and I know they wore caps similar to this in training...but not sure if that is what these are. They may pertain to another family member...

Navybean Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I do not believe those are military, I think they are toy caps made for kids Go Navy! Link to post Share on other sites
Flashlarue Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Look like cold weather liners for construction workers helmets. Link to post Share on other sites
Kadet Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 Some diverse opinions LOL! You may both be right in them being non military though. The person I bought the group from grabbed everything that looked military. There are some gems but also stuff that doesn't pertain...

pararaftanr2 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Flashlarue is correct. These are not military. These are civilian cold weather liners for hard hats and / or welding helmets. https://pilotsmanyourplanes.com/ Link to post Share on other sites
Kadet Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 Thanks! That actually makes sense. Following the war, he spent 50 years working for Great Lakes Carbon.
