kammo-man Posted January 20, 2013 Share #179 Posted January 20, 2013 Mitch ........ Very nice collection of boonies ! The first beach ball is made from the VNMC 1966 pattern cloth. I own its EXACT same brother ! and a set dated 09 66 exactly the same. Your parts hats are just the way you would like to see them ...thanks for posting. owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted January 21, 2013 Share #180 Posted January 21, 2013 Thanks Owen for the positve comments. I wish I had the amount and types that you have !!! I'm going to post more hats . The next one is an almost unworn USMC one made from the shelter quarter. I'm not going to show the inside views as that is one of other things the fakers have not mastered. I'm going to show ERDL pattern ones after these 2 USMC and then odd pattern boonies. Regards, Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted January 21, 2013 Share #181 Posted January 21, 2013 This is the same pattern but very well used with a Japanese made patch to the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Force Posted January 21, 2013 Share #182 Posted January 21, 2013 Nice collection! The 1966 VNMC pattern itself is one of the most beautiful tiger patterns at all! Your silver boonie is also a great piece of tiger stripes as well as the gold ones, I unfortunately don’t have one of those factory made gold boonies in my collection. I like them all! Thanks for showing! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corpsmancollector Posted January 21, 2013 Share #183 Posted January 21, 2013 Mitch, They are some stunning examples, the USMC rain/boonie hats alone are enough to wet my appetite! It seems they made all sorts from WWII ponchos after the war, your example with the Japanese patch is a stunner. Thanks for posting, Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
