Watch a run on Chaing Kai Shek headgear start on eBay now and totally devalue the Chaing Kai Shek headgear market....
I believe these are part of a collection put together by a retired French Foreign Legion General in the 1950's to 1960's. He lived in the Chicago area and used to display parts of his collection at a small militaria show. Using his rank, he used to write world leaders stating that he collected military caps of world leaders and asked if they could send him one. His approach actually worked. I believe he passed in the mid 1970's and his collection likely was quietly sold locally.
