Rare, Japan Self-Defense Force Identification Caps (2 items) Utsunomiya Garrison Public Relations / Soma-hara Garrison 48th Infantry Regiment

This listing is for a set of two identification caps (unit caps) from the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, both of which are now difficult to obtain.

Utsunomiya Garrison Public Relations (PR) Identification Cap
Woodland camouflage mesh.
This is a PR-exclusive model with CAMP UTSUNOMIYA PR embroidery. It is a rare item with extremely limited general distribution.

48th Infantry Regiment (Sohara Garrison) Identification Cap
This is the identification cap of the 48th Infantry Regiment, which operates as a **core unit** under the 12th Brigade.
Due to recent JGSDF reorganizations, core units are tending to be downsized and integrated, making this an item of high historical value that will become increasingly difficult to obtain in the future.
It features a striking gold embroidery of 48 INFANTRY REGIMENT on a black background.

[Condition and Notes]
Both caps have been used and stored, and are excellent items with high value as collectibles.
The 48th Infantry Regiment cap has my personal name embroidered on the left side. If this is a concern, please carefully remove the embroidery by loosening the threads with a seam ripper or small scissors before use.

[Reason for Selling]
I am selling my long-cherished collection to fund the purchase of a backpack for my grandchild's elementary school enrollment next year.
I would be delighted if these items could be purchased by collectors or JGSDF fans who will cherish them.
