Thank you, OriginalCollector for the additional detailed description and information. I wish I had more answers regarding the cap. EasternEagle's memory is correct that my Grandfather was stationed in Germany during the KW, but he was also very active in the Hungarian community of Cleveland he settled in, frequently trading items, so I unfortunately have no idea how this cap and belt came into his possession.   Is it possible the band was intentionally applied upside down in a subtle protest of the nazi regime?   I am happy to hear the belt and buckle are a complete set. I can confirm the buckle is very light, which aligns with it being aluminum instead of iron.   I live in the San Diego area.  If there is anyone around here interested, I would be happy to show the two items in person or meet at a show to verify authenticity and/or negotiate a sale.  Thank you.

I have seen 3 different manufacturers of monoculars used by the Air Force starting in the early 1950's. They are all 6 X 30 and all have the same fleece lined cloth cases. I believe the first was the Wollensak. This monocular was specified as a component in the SAC E-1 Individual Long Range Sustenance Kit. That specification is dated 24 August 1950. The monocular was also a component of the B-58 Hustler kit. I believe the Wollensak monocular was also used in the B-58 kits. The other two monoculars are slightly larger than the Wollensak and don't fit well in the fiberglass B-58 container. I believe all 3 were used as an optional item in various survival kits of the time. I have never seen a date the larger ones were manufactured.   The other two slightly larger ones are made by Frankford Arsenal and are marked Property of United States Air Force and the other is made by Universal Camera Corp. Both are nearly identical to each other.   I believe nagmashdriver is correct that the cases were all made by the same manufacturer and paired with the monocular. The top monocular is Universal Camera, the bottom two are Wollensak. You can see the Universal and Frankford Arsenal monoculars is slightly larger than the Wollensak. You can see a zipper variant in the Wollensak  cases, but each of the cases use a Prentice zipper,   This also shows a comparison of the sizes.    

Man, I guess.

Dec 44 wasn't a lucky month for Sgt Sam Bufalini, or was it?    Sources: NARA and FOLD3   Dan

I believe it is a lrrp unit attached to the 9th in Vietnam, but can't remember exactly.   It is also a copy.

The price is fine.

Slowly growing my collection of US military visor caps / military visor caps in general. I recently purchased this Flight Ace cap, size 7 3/8. Very clean, minus the few marks on the chin strap. There looks to be some markings that could ID who owned it, however it is very faint (I think I can make out "BECK" at most).      

Looks like it to me but I wanted to make sure. Also how common are these compared to other acu's? I also found an Identical coat on the second page of this topic. https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/239555-commercial-vs-issued-multicamscorpionocp/

Is that the name of the book?
