The definitive ruck of the early Vietnam War advisor: The US M-1951 Mountain Rucksack. Widely used by Special Forces before nylon gear became standard. This example is in used condition and features a fully functional lid zipper(rare!). Please note: There is a small tear/hole (approx. 1cm) in the canvas shown in the photos, consistent with its age and field use.

Rare early Vietnam War "Lightweight Rucksack" (P64). Dated 1964. Fully complete with welded frame, cargo shelf, waist belt, and instruction sheet. Very good condition with one small 1cm tear on a pocket.

A highly desirable Technical Manual (TM 9-1005-249-14) dated August 1966. This manual is a treasure trove for early Vietnam War collectors. It covers the maintenance and repair of the M16 and XM16E1 rifles, but its primary value lies in the inclusion of the XM148 40mm Grenade Launcher. The XM148 was an experimental, failure-prone predecessor to the M203, used briefly by US Special Forces. Original documentation for the XM148 is extremely scarce.

Unused Survival Cards for South East Asia GTA 21-7-1. Issued in April 1968. Reprinted in 1987.

A rare experimental garment with elite provenance. These "Trousers, Man's, Combat, Temperate" (Contract 7914) come directly from the estate of a US Special Forces veteran. The trousers are in a unique condition: laundered and then subjected to an extreme "Heavy Starch", making the fabric board-stiff with razor-sharp creases. This represents the classic "Strac" appearance maintained by SF troopers in garrison during the Vietnam era.

Museum-quality 1969 M-65 Field Jacket. Owned by USAF Brigadier General Kelly. Features Command Pilot wings and USAFE patch. Aluminum zippers. Unissued/Mint condition. Rare size Large-Long.

Genuine Vietnam War era Rifle Bore Cleaner (MIL-C-372B). Dated 1969. 2 US fl oz plastic bottle. Full with original contents. Made by George Senn Inc. Perfect for display or kit completion.

A fantastic example of a Vietnam War era "Theater Made" USMC OG-107 Utility Shirt. This piece features modifications typical of Marines stationed in Okinawa, Japan. Notable details include a directly embroidered black EGA on the pocket and a custom embroidered name tape (GRENNAN C.J. JR) sewn inside the collar. Additionally, the Marine's name is boldly stenciled across the back. The size tag is missing, but fits like a Small to Medium-Short.

Genuine 1970 Vietnam Era M-65 Jacket. So-Sew Styles contract. Aluminum zippers. Exterior is Mint/NOS condition. Interior liner has a storage stain. Size Medium-Regular.

A fantastic collector's piece from the late Vietnam War era: US Navy Inflatable Life Preserver, specification MIL-L-21047 (SHIPS). The stencil clearly dates the manufacture to APRIL 1973. Unlike many surplus vests, this one is in very nice, lightly used condition with vibrant markings and supple fabric. Comes complete with 4 CO2 cylinders installed.

An authentic vintage US Army Special Forces (Airborne) Shoulder Sleeve Insignia. This is the highly desirable "Cut Edge" (flat edge) variant, which dates this patch to the Vietnam War era (specifically pre-1968, before the Army switched to merrowed edges). The patch is in used condition, likely removed from a uniform, adding to its historical provenance.
