A true time capsule find: An Original US Army Wool Blanket from the Vietnam War era, sourced from cases dated 1968 and 1970. This item is New Old Stock (NOS) and remains sealed in its original plastic wrapper, ensuring it is free from moth damage or wear. It includes the original paper insert listing the nomenclature BLANKET, BED, WOOL, OG-118. An essential piece for any serious Vietnam militaria collection.
Used Vietnam USMC White Pistol Belt Set. The set includes a belt, a magazine pouch for Colt 1911 pistols, and a holster attachment.
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.
A genuine vintage US Military Headset manufactured by Astrocom Electronics. Designed for use with the iconic AN/PRC-25 and AN/PRC-77 manpack radios, typical of the Vietnam War and Cold War eras.

It terminates in standard U-229/U audio connectors. Condition: Visually in nice vintage condition. Sold as-is, functionality has NOT been tested.

A pristine example of the Vietnam War era M1967 Entrenching Tool (E-Tool). This is the revolutionary "Tri-Fold" all-metal design that replaced the wooden-handled shovels. Manufactured by AMES, clearly stamped 1969. It comes paired with an original carrier dated 1970. The set is in Unissued / New Old Stock (NOS) condition, retaining its original finish. Hard to find in this state.

An incredible piece of Vietnam War naval history: Original 1967 US Navy OG-107 Cotton Sateen Shirt. This shirt belonged to a diver assigned to the Ship Repair Facility (SRF) at Subic Bay, Philippines, the primary maintenance hub for the US 7th Fleet. Key features include:
Chest: Embroidered U.S. NAVY tape and Diver insignia (Mark V Helmet style).
Shoulder: Rare, large colorful patch "COM. NAV. PHIL. SRF SUBIC BAY - DIVING SALVAGE". A true collector's item with specific provenance.

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.

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.
A pristine, unissued US Government Issue (GI) Green Beret from the height of the Vietnam War. Markings inside confirm the contract DSA100-68-C-0965, dating it specifically to 1968. Sourced directly from the estate of Special Forces trooper Norton, making this a piece with solid provenance. Unlike many surviving examples, the wool is free of moth damage and the interior silver stamping is crisp and bright. Features correct black eyelets with screens. Size 7 1/8.
Unused M7 Conetta bayonet with used M8A1 scabbard from manufacturer PWH.
A "Holy Grail" item for Vietnam War and Special Operations collectors: The original "Preliminary Operator's and Organizational Maintenance Manual" for the STONER 63A (5.56mm Light Machinegun, Belt Fed). Published directly by the manufacturer, Cadillac Gage Company, this represents a rare piece of history associated almost exclusively with US Navy SEALs and elite units in Southeast Asia. The manual features intricate technical diagrams of the trigger group, receiver, and field stripping procedures.
A true collector's piece: Original 1st Pattern Jungle Fatigue Trousers featuring the iconic exposed buttons. Dated 1964. Made from Non-Ripstop Cotton Poplin. Size Small Long. The rarest version of the Vietnam War tropical uniform.
XM3 bipod for M-16 rifle. With pouch and cleaning kit. Manufacturer Colt.
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.
