Imagine what Chuck bought them for in germany in 1973..5 bucks a piece?? Maybe he got them at half price..of original retail..a couple marks..

Use caution playing with the sweatband..those stitches are very fragile if memory serves..

Too late, about half the stitches of the SB have pulled away over the years showing off the venting set up. That's the way I received it.

[SgtB]

Yes!

[Rich Moran]

And with vents/grommets... even thoguh it is behind the wreath they are there and were used during the era.

Please note the loss of the plating over the zinc eagle, over time this will be called mis-matched insignia once the corrosion does away with the plating over the zinc.

Thanks again everyone. I really enjoy the minty headgear and I'm amazed at how well they have survived over the last 65 years.
