I love this hat. I first saw it at the SOS and did not buy it but on the way home I was having remorse! I contacted the seller the next day and ended up buying it. I almost blew that one! Clete

It was this exact thread that made me make a note of the militia uniforms/visors. When I saw this one in person I knew of the rarity and ended up deciding to purchase it. I feel fortunate to have gotten it. Thanks Clete

Sos

One of the Russians brought it over last year and displayed it at the show at Ilia's (but he forgot to bring cap) before i got my grubby hands on it (part of the deal). DougD
