I have two of these EG rain pattern side caps in my collection. One is mint, while the other is quite used. The mint one has something sewn onto the inside of the cap. I have never been able to discern what exactly the material is. Also, the used cap has also had a cap badge put on the front at one time.
I have talked to several collectors and they aren't exactly sure who would have used them. One theory is that they were used by the South African Special Forces. Another theory is that these caps were worn by SWAPO or by Angolan troops. Any thoughts?
