British Broad Arrow Hat

The hidden language of British military gear. To the casual observer, the Broad Arrow is just three lines pointing upward — a small mark, easily overlooked. To a milsurp collector, it's instant recognition: Crown Property. Also called the pheon or the crow's foot, this simple symbol has been the official mark of British government property since the sixteenth century, stamped onto Brown Bess muskets, Baker rifles, Pattern 1853 Enfields, Martini-Henrys, Lee-Enfield SMLEs, No. 4 Mk Is, Bren guns, ammunition crates, bayonets, water bottles, mess tins, and the equipment of every British and Commonwealth soldier from Waterloo to the Falklands. Wear this hat into a gun show or a Lee-Enfield collectors' meet and watch heads turn — every milsurp guy in the room will know exactly what it means. Built for milsurp collectors, Lee-Enfield and SMLE owners, Commonwealth military history readers, Australian and Canadian Army veterans, British military researchers, Pattern 14 and SMLE shooters, and anyone who's ever flipped over a piece of Crown-issue gear and grinned at the little arrow stamped into the metal.
