hard to find. I am lucky to have these. I am missing the khaki summer hat. I have the field greens bell crown, dress blues white bell crown, and dress blues winter blue bell crown. I am fond of USMC items, even though I was in the Navy.....

HEY,the navy and MARINES are in the same boat,sort of, you know!!! always be proud of where you serve. i was ( or am ) a Marine. as they say once a Marine Always a Marine. the collection you have looks sooooo, good!!! it is a great collection that i would love to have as well, OOORAH,&"SEMPER-FI".
you are right, Marines are part of the Navy and we are still trying to tell the goverment the same thing!!! we are the first in and last out. but at least we each have each others back. "SEMPER-FI" brother.
I have all three myself and that is quite the accomplishment.
I also have the separate khaki cover that was worn over the blue bellcrown, mainly on board ship. Now if I can just find the correct size bellcrown to put it on I will be all set!
