The U.S.S. Newport News (CA-148) moved from Norfolk on 5 September 1967 for a six-month deployment to Southeast Asia. She arrived at Da Nang, South Vietnam, on 9 October 1967 and became the flagship of ComCruDesFlot 3. She participated in attacks against targets in North Vietnam as part of Operation Sea Dragon. U.S.S. Newport News subsequently became involved in combat in Vietnam in 1968 and 1972.

A spectacular piece of Vietnam War history: An original "Theater Made" (In-country) combat jacket in the ERDL Brown Dominant (Highland) camouflage pattern. 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.

Genuine USGI triangular handguards for the M16A1 rifle. Complete set (Left & Right halves) with integrated aluminum heat shields. Unissued NOS condition. Perfect for retro builds.

REPRO beret in Tiger Stripe camouflage - size Large 59/60.

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.

Genuine Recondo qualification patch for the 82nd Airborne Division. Subdued black-on-OD green embroidery. Arrowhead shape. Vintage pocket patch typically worn on BDUs..

A rare and identifiable piece of US Marine Corps history: An original M1 Helmet Liner used at The Basic School (TBS)in Quantico, Virginia. This is the institution where every Marine Officer is trained to be a rifle platoon commander. The liner features a high-gloss finish with a distinctive white tactical stripe and the TBS Unit Crest decal (reading "Esprit, Leadership, Knowledge"). The rear features a hand-painted roster number 350.

A unicorn for vintage collectors and reenactors with larger heads: An original Vietnam War era US Army Field Grade Officer's Service Cap. This cap features the distinctive gold bullion oak leaf embroidery on the visor (commonly known as "Scrambled Eggs"), designating the rank of Major through Colonel. Manufactured by Berkshire De Luxe as a high-quality private purchase item. The size is an incredibly rare 7 3/4 (approx. 62 cm). Finding vintage headgear in this size is exceptionally difficult. Condition is excellent/very good.

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.

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.

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.
