The sleeve shows a distinct "Ghost Patch" outline where insignia was removed. Fits like a US Small.
A highly desirable Vietnam Era "Private Purchase" Green Beret made by the famous Bancroft Military Capscompany.

The beret is in very nice condition but features a distinct cigarette burn through the vinyl liner, adding undeniable character and history. Size approx 7 1/4.
