Fantastic item! Congrats! It's a shame the items were broken up but that's what people do. Money before history.
But great that you got this documented item!
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Thanks for the input. It was really surprising to find a piece like this on eBay, and for a great price.

Ebay is good for US and Japanese militaria. But you still need to know your stuff.
Here is a nice ebay listing

Is there any way of tracking down a photograph of Mahoney? I have looked all over google for a picture of him to display with the cap, however I have not had any luck.

Unfortunately thats what heppens sometimes..... everything in all of our collections belonged to SOMEONE at some point. I say we are lucky to have what we get. If it weren't for veterans giving up their possessions we wouldn't have a hobby in the first place. Very cool hat by the way. I think we would all be honored to own such a piece!
