The manual features intricate technical diagrams of the trigger group, receiver, and field stripping procedures.
A true museum piece for the Vietnam War collector: An original "DRAFT COPY" of the Preliminary Operation and Maintenance Manual for the Submachine Gun, 5.56-MM, XM177E2. Published by Rock Island Arsenal in July 1967, this provisional manual was issued in very limited numbers to Special Operations units (MACV-SOG, Navy SEALs, LRRPs) alongside the first batches of the weapon. Unlike standard field manuals, this "Draft" represents the weapon's testing phase in combat.

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.
An authentic piece of US Marine Corps gear from the early Vietnam War: Field Pack, Canvas Combat. While based on the WWII M1941 pattern, the DSA 100-3510 stamp dates this specific production run to approx. 1965–1966. It is incredibly rare to find these in Unissued / New Old Stock condition. The canvas remains stiff and durable. There are some minor spots on the back due to long-term storage.

Unlike standard issue gear, this was custom-tailored locally in SE Asia, a practice common among Special Forces and career officers. This specific example is in Unissued / NOS condition, retaining pristine colors and fabric stiffness – a virtually impossible find for theater-made gear.
A classic piece of Vietnam War personal gear: The ERDL Camouflage Bib Scarf. Officially tagged as "INSIGNIA, BOS, SCARF, BIB-TYPE". This accessory was widely popular among troops (especially Special Forces and USMC) to prevent heavy gear straps from chafing the neck and to absorb sweat in the jungle heat. Made by Hallmark (Code G-23). Features snap button closure.
Rare early buttstock for M16/XM16E1 rifles (Vietnam War era). "Type D" model with a solid rubber buttpad and no cleaning kit compartment. Good used condition, no cracks..
