Artillery set

An authentic US Army Special Forces Shoulder Sleeve Insignia. This item is historically significant as it features a Merrowed Edge (thick border) but carries a confirmable Vietnam War date. The original box label identifies the contract as DSA 100-67-C-1365 (Fiscal Year 1967), manufactured by Shalhoub Bros. This serves as definitive proof that merrowed edge patches were produced and issued during the late stages of the Vietnam War.

M1 helmet liner with DUI 104th Cavalry Regiment decals on both sides. The original sweatband and straps are replaced with a simplified plastic liner. The liner has a dark green gloss lacquer finish.

An extremely rare transitional piece from the early Vietnam War! Up for sale is a genuine "U.S. ARMY" branch tape in the tactical subdued (black) format. What makes this piece highly sought after is the backing material: the text is embroidered directly onto a strip of iconic HBT (Herringbone Twill) fabric. This combination of the dark embroidery (introduced in 1966) and the older, durable HBT canvas from the Korean War era makes it a classic transitional artifact. The tape is in perfect, unissued New Old Stock (NOS) condition.

Essential gear for a Vietnam-era Marine! Up for sale is a genuine M1961 canvas magazine pouch, designed to hold a single 20-round magazine for the legendary M-14 rifle. This load-bearing system was developed exclusively for the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and was worn during the early, intense battles of the Vietnam War before the widespread adoption of the M-16. The pouch is in used condition with authentic field patina, fully functional snaps, and the classic bottom grommets. Price is for 1 piece.

Rare Vietnam War era waterproof bag featuring "Chieu Hoi" (Open Arms) propaganda text in Vietnamese. Designed to hold M16 magazines while encouraging enemy defection. Dated March 1970.

A true time capsule for serious militaria collectors! Up for sale is a rare, early-issue U.S. Army multipurpose poncho dating back to the early Vietnam War era (late 50s/60s). Unlike later lightweight nylon versions, this heavy-duty poncho features thick rubberization on both sides in classic Olive Drab. It remains in incredible, unissued "deadstock" condition, still generously coated in the original factory white talcum powder used to prevent the rubber from sticking together during decades of storage.

Authentic gear from the early days of the Vietnam conflict! Up for sale is a genuine cotton canvas M-1956 entrenching tool carrier. This specific piece features a beautifully legible military contract stamp on the back dating it clearly to 1962. It is in quite nice, lightly used condition with a great vintage patina. Complete with the distinctive leather tabs for securely attaching a bayonet scabbard, and the original steel slide keeper clips for belt mounting. A perfect, period-correct piece for collectors and reenactors!

Used US pan/mesh. Year of manufacture 1967.

The classic paratrooper arc! Up for sale is a genuine full-color black and gold AIRBORNE tab from the Cold War and Vietnam War era. This piece features traditional mid-century construction with a flat "Cut Edge" and the highly sought-after white bobbin "snowy back." This specific tab has fantastic "salty" character—the edges are noticeably frayed, a clear sign that it was honestly worn on a period combat uniform and later removed. The perfect, authentic foundational piece for any Vietnam-era paratrooper display!

The pride of the Infantry, still factory sealed! Up for sale is an incredibly rare, genuine Vietnam War-era Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB - 1st Award). This is the tactical Subdued (matte black) version authorized for field wear on Jungle Fatigues to maintain camouflage discipline. The badge is completely untouched, still sealed in its original military plastic packaging. The insert card clearly displays a DSA contract dated 10/70 (October 1970). A New Old Stock (NOS) holy grail for serious Vietnam War collectors.

Firepower slung over your shoulder! Up for sale is a genuine US Army cotton bandoleer for 5.56mm M-16 magazines (7-pocket version). The crisp ink stamp reads "CHASE BAG CO. 7-73-B", securely dating this piece to the very end of the Vietnam War in 1973. The bandoleer is in mint, unissued New Old Stock (NOS) condition. As a fantastic historical detail, it still features the original large safety pin attached to the shoulder strap, which soldiers used to adjust the length in the field.

Genuine carrier for the XM28 "Grasshopper" riot control mask. Still sealed in the original 1969 government packaging. Rare NOS condition. Famous "Tunnel Rat" gear.
