Just noticed this neat detail:

Looks like a LW-sidecap, worn with army or navy shirt?

Hi, yes it looks KM sidecap, with km pith shield and KM trop chevron on the sleeve and probably km trop eagle. Good pic and interesting to see. I have seen a pic with an army pith eagle on the side. I'm not so sure that it has donald duck insignia, but my eyes aint what they used to be.

Thanks for showing this interesting image, Jerry

Nice photo. First time i have seen the KM do this, have seen the DAK Herr attach the pith shield to both the M40 and little ship cap...( piss cover in the USMC ).

thanks for showing

Thanks Tim,

I had never seen that photo and I have a soft spot for a shield on the side of a tropical cap
