Found this gem on Ebay back when it first started in the late 1990's. Not bad for $3.00!! ( yea THREE dollars) This is a 'transition' style hat, from when they went from the bell crown shape to the standard shape visor cap. However this hat has the brown visor and chinstrap where later and WWII era visor hats for the Marines were black leather visor and chin strap.
