Nice badges! 

Never saw them before.

I only found one Cuba related badge in my entyre career.

Can you show the Cuba related badge that you found?

That's a typical cap of the Cuban army in the 1950s. In its design it was similar to the US-american army caps.

Thank you Sir!

It's a very interesting piece. Never saw a Cuban Pickelhaube. It must be from the early 20th century. But  I can't imagine that this headgear was official used in the armed forces (the coat of arms is of the army). Unfortunately some parts are missing.

Thanks for the information! Any ideas where I can find the missing parts?

I would love to know more about this helmet.

I picked up this cap recently and was wondering if someone here can ID it?

Here are a few Bay of Pigs items I have collected thru the years. The two patches came out of Cuba and where worn on the uniform of the Brigade 2506. The wing came out of Miami some years ago.
