The Dutch baret ia a nice early post-war example and has the Regiment Van Heutzs badge. This regiment was attached to the 2nd USID during the Korean war, see Regiment Van Heutsz | Military Wiki | Fandom

I would be interested if you want to let it go

Got this stuff. Blue Air Force hat is from Sweden. Balance is Japanese. Rich A. in Pa.

Ye gods Rich!,

I don't know if "flea market" means quite the same in the US as it does here but on a UK flea market you would be lucky to find a matching pair of Grannys' chintz curtains or a cheap brass ornament!

Those Japanese headdress would be seen rarely at a militaria fair but never on a flea market Do you know much about them? They look naval. Totally out of my comfort zone but something I would grab quickly if I believed they were "right" (that would have to be a matter of "collectors nose").

Regards

Mark

Thanks,
The kepis are pre-W.W.2. They are correct but lack the red/white "plume" for the top of the badge. The W.W.2 Navy hat sits on the gray can.
Will post more. Rich A. in Pa.

the flea market that you go to seems to be a military collectors get together, and a swap and sale meeting? with you being the buyer.
