Uniforms and Equipment of U.S. Military Advisors in Vietnam

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 superb example of the scarce Rubberized M3 Medical Bag (Instrument and Supply Set No. 3). Manufactured by Eastern Canvas Products Inc., this waterproof variation was standard issue during the Korean War and early Vietnam era. Unlike many surviving examples, the rubberized fabric on this bag is supple and free of dry rot, and all zippers are fully functional. The kit comes loaded with vintage medical supplies, including boxed muslin bandages, Johnson & Johnson gauze, and a highly collectible glass bottle of Norwich Aspirin.

A true piece of Vietnam War history! Up for sale is a genuine U.S. Army rain poncho definitively dated to the height of the Vietnam conflict in 1968.

The backbone of the Vietnam grunt's gear! Up for sale is a genuine US military issue M-1956 cotton canvas suspender set (H-harness).

Despite its rugged look, it is structurally sound with no rips, tears, or broken parts. Supplied in the standard Regular size. This is the perfect choice for reenactors and collectors who want their gear to look like it actually spent a year in the jungle.

A unicorn for vintage collectors and reenactors with larger heads: An original Vietnam War era US Army Field Grade Officer's Service Cap.

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.

A highly elusive piece for the advanced M7 collector: The US M7 Bayonet manufactured by FZR (Fraser Manufacturing Corp.).

The crossguard is stamped "M7 FZR". Paired with a correct period M8A1 scabbard by TWB.

A true jungle classic from the Central Highlands! Up for sale is a genuine subdued shoulder patch (SSI) for the 4th Infantry Division (the "Ivy Division") from the Vietnam War era.

A true special operations legend! Up for sale is a genuine US Navy lace-up wet weather parka. Originally produced during WWII, these rugged rubberized canvas pullovers became legendary during the Vietnam War, heavily favored by US Navy SEALs, UDTs, and USMC Force Recon to fight off the monsoon rains and river wind. This specific piece is in used, "salty" condition and features a unique factory flaw or field repair: the left sleeve is constructed from a noticeably darker shade of canvas. Features the classic U.S.N. chest stencil. Size Small (but cuts very large).

The sound of the military camp! Up for sale is a genuine US military brass field bugle. Stamped with the classic "U.S. REGULATION", this specific piece was sourced directly from the estate of a US Marine Corps (USMC) Vietnam War veteran. The instrument boasts a fantastic, untouched patina from years of real use and storage. Please note: The bugle is missing its mouthpiece, making it an ideal historical display piece or a restoration project for a collector.
