Not so much an ID this request more a please confirm which one it is!!!!

If any one can help please excuse my ignorance and set me right on which is the correct cap for this outfit

Is it the hard unmarked one with large badge that shrinks and only fits a pinhead or is it soft with smaller badge and marked Hong Kong or something else!!!!

Have seen few different ones listed and displayed (and I have a few different examples myself) but now looking to complete the uniform so would be grateful for help.

Thanks
Alasdair

smileHello, I think the correct hats are marked Hasbro, where as the knock off ones are marked Hong kong, same with the dress marine

Hi Dave, problem is I cant find any reference on sales or collectors sites saying anything about a Hasbro stamp - sorry not saying that you wrong just no references on line found saying that.  Also, the two versions I mentioned appear on both sellers sites and collectors figures.????????

smileSorry mate,  i do know the Annapolis cadet and the air cadet caps has Hasbro Hong kong stamped inside them, thought it would be the same for the dress marine and Dress air force outfits, as there are countless knock offs of these  and they are so close too Gi joes, Think i will check my westpoint cadet hat and read what is writtin on that, Think you need one of our American friends to resolve this, Good luck mate, any chance of a photo of your caps ?

I'll check mine when I get home but I don't remember them having markings in  According to what I have read, the original caps (Air Force Officer and Marine) did shrink & go hard, which is why I have a knock-off cap on my officer and a cap that was only available through Kellogg on my Marine. I'll try and take some photos as well.
