Schrade Walden H-15 Knife – Vietnam Era Private Purchase – Original Sheath

The classic badge of a combat-proven Infantryman! Up for sale is a genuine US Army Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB - 1st Award) in the traditional full-color metal and enamel finish. The reverse is stamped with the "V-21" hallmark, identifying it as a product of Vanguard Military Equipment Corp. Since the Institute of Heraldry introduced these alphanumeric codes in 1965, this badge perfectly dates to the Vietnam War era through the 1970s. It shows honest wear and a beautiful, authentic patina.

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.
