A very fine, original French Model 1949 Khaki Bush Hat... the characteristic Australian Slouch Hat inspired head wear, officially termed Chapeau de Brousse Modèle 1949. This is a rigid, light khaki woven variation manufactured by the firm of Scecam Bernay on August 12, 1958. Hat still retains its quartermaster service paper tag denoting a European Head Size 60 ( US equivalent of a Size Large or 7 3/8 ). French military history documents these particular bush hat patterns quite well... in the First Indochina War, for instance, at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu and later, during the 1954 - 1962 conflict in Algeria. A well marked, well dated example complete with its adjustable chin strap. Interesting piece, truly representative of the earlier conflicts of the Vietnam War. An unissued example in virtually Mint condition! PLEASE READ: I am equally a collector!
