Todd,

Thanks for the good information (as always). I had seen some of those pictures before but couldn't make out if the badge was on a rossette or if the military caubeens didn't have one.

Hmmm... I have a a nice diced glengarry, a royal blue balmoral, various berets, and a couple of driving caps. Perhaps I need a caubeen to round out my hat collection (somewhere the F-H.C.A.G. is frowning mightily and saying "Not Another Hat!" )

Cheers
