Feed the Pig! Up for sale is a fantastic, genuine Vietnam War-era US Military M19A1 ammunition can. This classic steel box features incredibly well-preserved original yellow stenciling from 1968. It originally held 200 rounds of 7.62mm linked ammunition for the iconic M60 machine gun. The stencils clearly detail the 4-to-1 Ball/Tracer mix and identify the Twin Cities Ordnance Plant (TW 68). The can is used but in great, fully functional condition with its rubber gasket intact and a beautiful authentic patina.

A collector's gem from the early days of subdued insignia! Up for sale is a genuine "U.S. ARMY" branch tape from the early stages of the Vietnam War. Unlike the more common embroidered tapes, this is the highly sought-after printed version. This quick and cheap manufacturing method was used right after the Army authorized subdued insignia in 1966. Because the ink washed out and faded extremely quickly in the jungle, they were soon replaced. This specific piece is in pristine, unissued New Old Stock (NOS) condition—never washed, never sewn, with flawlessly sharp, dark text. The ultimate finishing touch for an authentic early-war jungle fatigue jacket.
