FAPLA forces issue supplied to Angola by Cuba.Original Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) bush hat manufactured in the distinctive grey lizard camouflage pattern, a camouflage widely associated with Cuban military forces during the Cold War. This example has been personally modified by having the crown taken in to reduce the size, making it a personalised field-used item rather than a standard factory configuration. A desirable example of Cuban military headgear with evident service modification, making it of particular interest to collectors of Cold War and African conflict militaria.
