NickD Posted May 12, 2010 Share #552 Posted May 12, 2010 hiya beogam mine has the tag cut out so its good to see what the tag would have looked like but its not the originality of the cover that was in question but the fact its portraying an airborne generals helmet nobody could agree as to whether its real or a put together fantasy piece ??

VMI88 Posted May 22, 2010 Share #555 Posted May 22, 2010 I recently picked up this duck hunter pattern cap. It basically follows the Navy/USMC pattern but has no label. There are 4 black metal vents in the crown. It's really well-worn. Can anyone tell me if this is Vietnamese-made, or possibly some other Asian country? I posted more photos at http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/ind...showtopic=76178, but the post didn't get any responses. Any information would be appreciated!

kammo-man Posted June 1, 2010 Share #557 Posted June 1, 2010 Modern made using old fabric. The grommets are just like the ones coming out of Vietnam today . owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMI88 Posted June 3, 2010 Share #558 Posted June 3, 2010 Modern made using old fabric.The grommets are just like the ones coming out of Vietnam today . owen Owen, Thanks for the information. The cap may not be Vietnam period, but I'm pretty sure because of where I found it it's not modern-made using Vietnam-era cloth. (A flea market vendor picked it up at an estate sale that had other military items, and he only charged me $3 for it!) Bob actually has one on his website now that looks a lot like it; maybe he can comment: http://www.vintageproductions.com/shop/ind...product_id=4161 Bob's doesn't seem to have grommets at all.

vintageproductions Posted June 17, 2010 Share #560 Posted June 17, 2010 I still believe it is South Korean. If you were to lay the one I have and this one side by side, the differences would scream out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beogam Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share #562 Posted June 17, 2010 Hi BoB I don t believe your cap is made with Korean twill, all Korean patterns that i seen is smaller in design than you cap but maybe is one type that i never have in my hands, look in OSPREY ARMIES OF THE VIETNAM WAR 2 page 37 some Korean Marines worn one bigger than usually ???

VMI88 Posted June 23, 2010 Share #567 Posted June 23, 2010 Here's another apparently Asian-made hat I found in a thrift store a few weeks ago. It's a boonie made of leopard spot camo: The inside is lined in green sateen, and the chinstrap is made of a twill tape: Any information on the hat would be very much appreciated!

TrenchfootJoe66 Posted July 31, 2010 Share #574 Posted July 31, 2010 Man that was nice footage. One of the US types was wearing a nice set of duck hunters ( towards the ned of the footage). The shirt looked like it was longer than anything Ive got and Ive got alot of that crap. JW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwriter Posted August 12, 2010 Share #575 Posted August 12, 2010 BOB HOPE IN BEOGAM SUIT b][/b][/size] Hi Jerome, I was very impressed with your images of original Vietnam various camo pattern uniforms, you really must have one of the best collections in Europe. Would it be possible for me to use a good quality image of that great Bob Hope Record Cover, to illustrate in my book on "Martha Raye & Her Boys in Vietnam", naturally I would give you a credit in the book acknowledgements. However I quite understand if this is not possible, no matter the reason. Regards Ghostwriter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
