We can make custom historic, fitted wool ballcaps in production runs of as few as 24 pieces. Single-piece custom caps are sometimes possible (felt lettering treatments only). Single-piece custom caps are generally $48. I think they mean that unless you want an entirely original design you could buy...

Ebbets Field and the perfect '80s Da Nang ball cap

Recently I've been thinking about putting together a VMO-2 ball cap like the one used by TC and Magnum on the show. Finding a VMO-2 patch has always been easy enough, but getting the navy blue ball cap with green under the brim and that perfect 80s fit hasn't. However, there's this company called Eb...

An observation, during the Vietnam War, despite countless close calls, no SEAL was ever captured by the enemy. So with the information we have on the Magnumverse, this would make TM the only SEAL to have been a POW.

Exactly...definitely a "Magnum" classic! :) What do you think about "Jororo Kill"? Solid episode, 'Nuns don't work on sundays', great scene. Good to see Try to Remember and On Face Value get some love from some other Magnum maniacs! I think Try to Remember was probably the first Magnum episode I ev...

I always thought TM's Chronosport had a nylon watchband, RAF style.

http://www.specialforcesroh.com/gallery/file4045.jpg Sort of off-topic, but I'll be damned if the SEAL on the right isn't the spitting image of Magnum. Edit: I just started reading The Element of Surprise by Darryl Young, the man on the left of the above photo. A member of his SEAL platoon (Julliet...

Magnum has both the Surface Warfare and Special Warfare (UDT/SEAL) Insignia, which is entirely plausible in real life. VN-era SEAL and MoH recipient Lt. Michael Thornton has the same qualifications. Initially the SEALs were volunteer only, but as the war mounted many UDT frogmen were transferred to ...

There's a vintage 70s/80s pair of the exact canvas Sperry boat shoes TM used on the bay right now. Made in USA and apparently unused, can't be many of them still left around. Unfortunately for me they're not in my size, someone else might be interested though. http://cgi.ebay.com/Sperry-Top-Sider-2-...

Spotted a flub: When they are on the boat and going through the weapons crate, Tyler picks up a 5.56 mm HK33 (or the identical civilian semi-auto version HK93) and throws it to TC, but in the next shot TC clearly catches a 7.62 mm HK91 (semi-auto version of the military G3). Tyler also identifies th...

It just occurred to me, maybe Phoebe's line about the CIA and Foreign Legion was some sort of reference by the scriptwriters to the possible alternative back stories of the show during the early stages of it's creation. For example, one known early draft for the show had Magnum as a former CIA opera...
