Can anyone identify this hat? Inside it reads: A.B.L. preta 1994 mitin 58

Hi there,

the visor looks Belgian to me.
(Note the colours of the Korkade)

Cheers,

I think you may be right. I did a bit of digging for 'Belgium Army Hat' and this site seems to confirm your suspicions: http://www.europeanarmysurplus.co.uk...=HEBE002-AV-KH

Absolutely Belgian Army. ABL = Armee Belge Leger. You'll find ABL on every official item of the Belgian Army.
