M1 liner 104th Cavalry Regiment

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.

A pristine example of the most desirable private-purchase headgear in US Army history: The Morry Luxenberg "Green Beret". Sourced directly from the estate of Special Forces soldier "Norton" (service spanning Vietnam to the 1990s). Luxenberg berets, often Made in England, were prized by operators for their superior wool quality and "shaved" appearance. This item is Unissued/New Old Stock, retaining the rare plastic shield over the diamond logo with the original price sticker still attached. Size 7 1/8.

An authentic, early Cold War-era "Infantry Leader's Handbook." This unique manual was published by the U.S. Army Infantry School at Fort Benning, compiled by the team behind the professional "Infantry" magazine. Featuring incredibly dramatic, expressive cover art of a GI in combat, it served as a practical guide for squad and platoon leaders bridging the gap between the Korean War and Vietnam. A superb collectible for military historians.
