Short Description: A rare piece of combat engineer field gear: A complete set of two "Reel, Taped Barbed" coils in their original cardboard dispenser box. This is the flat, razor-sharp barbed tape used for perimeter defense and booby traps during the Vietnam War. The box features clear stencil markings with contract DSA 700-69-C-1240, dating it precisely to 1969. Condition is NOS (New Old Stock) – clean and uncorroded.

A scarce piece of US Marine Corps amphibious gear: The Electric Beach Landing Lantern, dated October 1964. Manufactured by Turnsignal Co., Philadelphia, this rugged light was designed to mark beachheads during invasion operations. It features a heavy-duty pole clamp and a selector switch for FLASH or STEADY beam. The interior retains the original set of color filters and spare bulbs, which is a rare find. Sold as a collectible display piece (untested).

Genuine US Military Issue Safety Line / Extraction Rope, dating to the late Vietnam War era. Unlike bulk rope, this item features factory spliced/braided eyes at the ends, indicating it was issued as a specific assembly (e.g., for helicopter crew safety or STABO rigs). It comes with the original heavy-duty steel carabiner stamped "WYOTT 72". Condition: New Old Stock (NOS), excellent preservation.

Used Armor Body ballistic shorts, Fragmentation Protective (For the Groin). Size 36 (Army) 44 (Navy). Contract DSA-100-4677. The zipper is functional. Condition as shown in the photo. For collector purposes only.

A rare piece of Special Operations history. The original HT-2A "Village Radio" transceiver. Distributed by the CIA and US Army Special Forces (Green Berets) to CIDG (Civilian Irregular Defense Group) units. Used by local militias to call for support during Viet Cong attacks.

Unused M7 Conetta bayonet with used M8A1 scabbard from manufacturer PWH.

Used Vietnam USMC White Pistol Belt Set. The set includes a belt, a magazine pouch for Colt 1911 pistols, and a holster attachment.

A genuine vintage pocket patch for the 1st Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, nicknamed the "Blackhawks". This unit saw extensive heavy combat in Vietnam acting as the "eyes and ears" for the Americal Division. This patch features the highly desirable "Cut Edge" construction (non-merrowed) and a "Snowy Back" reverse, hallmarks of US-made insignia from the Vietnam era (pre-1968). It is in used condition, showing signs of having been removed from a uniform.

A very successful reproduction of the famous Tiger Stripe Boonie Hat, synonymous with US Special Forces and LRRPs during the Vietnam War. Made from 100% cotton, avoiding the shiny look of cheap synthetic copies. This hat will fade naturally over time for a "battle-hardened" look. An excellent, cost-effective alternative to rare originals for field use. Size Medium (fits 57-58 cm head circumference).

A highly rare piece of headgear from the First Indochina War: The French Cotton "Gurkha" Beret (also known as Béret de brousse). Distinct from standard issue wool berets, this multi-panel cotton construction was designed specifically for the rigors of jungle warfare in Southeast Asia. This example is in lightly used condition with no damage, retaining its original shape. Size is approximately 52 (Small).
