MP collector Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Just wanted to share my latest find, a regulation RCMP ski cap from around 1974....hope this pic uploads ok as I've never done so on this site.
peter monahan Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Nice cap & a good upload. I mean 'nice' as in 'nice find', of course. In fact its rather ugly, IMHO, and I can't imagine the Horsemen were rushing to put these on unless they were stationed in the Prairies in February or the Territories from October to April! :cheeky:

Hey thanks!..I think ....but yes not the nicecest looking thing, try to visualize a pilot wearing one with the headphones on; So they were limeted to Air div. members, northern posts with dog sled ect. and the last of them were issued to members serving in aiport disater units as well..nice thing about this cap is the condition is unused near mint...it basically sat in someones closet for the last 35+ years :D
Chris Boonzaier Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 They look a bit like a Hitler Youth cap with a RCMP badge on it ;-)
