Beau-Brummel Posted January 29, 2009 Share #126 Posted January 29, 2009 More inside pics. Like I said, any help is appreciated in identifying this as Pinks or not. Very nice hat, British windproof material with a top made of 59 pattern Denison material. I like It a lot! Yours, Guy. Link to post Share on other sites
kammo-man Posted January 29, 2009 Share #127 Posted January 29, 2009 N BB called this hat to perfection. This must be British made ,maybee by an SAS guy or the like . I have had a French Hat made nearly the same but all in Windproof . Your example is unique using different patterns ,but as you know to a army guy camouflage is camouflage . Bottom line . A killer bush hat . You should be happy , I would be happy to have this in my collection . owen Link to post Share on other sites
Nkomo Posted January 29, 2009 Share #128 Posted January 29, 2009 Thanks for the information guys!!! It is much appreciated! Arch Link to post Share on other sites
Andrei Posted January 29, 2009 Share #129 Posted January 29, 2009 Arch your hat is definitely Brit. SAS stuff probably. It could have been used in Borneo Confrontation, Malaya State of Emergency (late stage).... Ulster.... :packin heat: A very nice piece of counter-insurgency wars. Link to post Share on other sites
Duffy Posted January 29, 2009 Share #130 Posted January 29, 2009 I must admit, it's a very unique looking piece. I fully agree with Beau, and his answer. Definately British windproof with a '59 Pattern Denison smock material on the top. Nice piece Arch. How are the pieces you purchased from me, did you display them yet? Cheers.

zvez Posted January 31, 2009 Share #132 Posted January 31, 2009 Ok guys, Having been drooling over this thread, where would someone go to find an exc condition set of original vn war made bullet proofs badged? And how much would said set cost (I know probably the first born, but had to ask). I find myself being pulled gently into the vn collecting arena (should have head examined). but mostly will focus on insignia. except for this one uniform perhaps.

Chris Chris, Badged examples are VERY VERY expensive. If you want one, you may want to start looking into selling various body parts and organs! Link to post Share on other sites
zvez Posted January 31, 2009 Share #134 Posted January 31, 2009 I kinda figured they'd be of the rocking horse s**t scarcity. Oh well. I do have two kidneys tho................. Chris Link to post Share on other sites
vintageproductions Posted February 1, 2009 Share #135 Posted February 1, 2009 Being realistic, to find a fully badged set, named to a US advisor, would be 3K plus. At 3K it would make any serious dealer think about buying it. I have paid more then that on a couple in the past, that were fully documented. A plain set without provenace and insignia can be bought for a much cheaper price. Link to post Share on other sites
Spike Posted February 1, 2009 Share #136 Posted February 1, 2009 I'd say between $2500.00 and $5000.00 for a nice REAL set. Link to post Share on other sites

Patrick. Posted February 1, 2009 Share #139 Posted February 1, 2009 Hello Jason, great shots of a great cap, lots of typical period features to be seen on the inside. Does the cap bear the marks of two sets of removed wings? Patrick. Link to post Share on other sites
