M1 liner 104th Cavalry Regiment

An iconic signaling device from the Vietnam War era! We are offering an original US SDU-5/E (Light, Marker, Distress) strobe light, contract dated 1972. Originally issued to downed aviators, this high-intensity strobe became a favorite tool among special operations forces (MACV-SOG, LRRPs, SEALs) for marking LZs and signaling extraction choppers through the dense jungle canopy. This strobe is in beautiful collector condition and comes complete with its original nylon carrying pouch and the extremely rare, original vintage BA-1574/U battery (dated 1971). Due to the obsolete battery, functionality is untested; sold as a historical display 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).

Perfect for Vietnam reenactors and serious collectors.

The sound of the military camp! Up for sale is a genuine US military brass field bugle. Stamped with the classic "U.S. REGULATION", this specific piece was sourced directly from the estate of a US Marine Corps (USMC) Vietnam War veteran. The instrument boasts a fantastic, untouched patina from years of real use and storage. Please note: The bugle is missing its mouthpiece, making it an ideal historical display piece or a restoration project for a collector.

The missing link in US tactical gear history! Up for sale is an extremely rare LINCLOE program nylon pouch designed for three 30-round M16 magazines. Introduced in 1971, it bridges the gap between M-1967 nylon gear and the ALICE system. What makes this pouch highly collectible is the unique internal design: individual retention flaps for each magazine, a feature dropped in later LC-1 pouches. This exact model is famously associated with the US Marines guarding the Saigon embassy in 1975. Unissued, New Old Stock (NOS) condition. Includes two metal ALICE clips.
