A pristine time capsule for MACV-SOG and LRRP collectors! Up for sale is a genuine US Military VS-17/GVX Panel Marker (Aerial Liaison) from the Vietnam War era. What makes this piece extraordinary is that it is still factory-sealed in its original waterproof kraft paper wrapping, clearly stamped with a 1972 date. These high-visibility panels were crucial for marking LZs, calling in CAS, and preventing friendly fire in the jungle. An untouched piece of history ready for your display.

An authentic U.S. Army Pamphlet (PAM 350-12) issued in May 1967, right in the thick of the Vietnam War. Titled "Guide for Squad Leaders," this manual was essential reading for NCOs.

The missing link in US tactical gear history! Up for sale is an extremely rare LINCLOE program nylon pouch designed for three 30-round M16 magazines. Introduced in 1971, it bridges the gap between M-1967 nylon gear and the ALICE system. What makes this pouch highly collectible is the unique internal design: individual retention flaps for each magazine, a feature dropped in later LC-1 pouches. This exact model is famously associated with the US Marines guarding the Saigon embassy in 1975. Unissued, New Old Stock (NOS) condition. Includes two metal ALICE clips.

A holy grail piece for Vietnam War and Cold War collectors! Up for sale is a stunning, unissued military flight suit (coveralls) in the highly desirable ERDL Brown Dominant (Highland) camouflage pattern. Featuring the classic aviator cut with multiple zippered pockets, this suit is in pristine New Old Stock condition with vibrant colors. While the original manufacturer's tag is missing, it is an incredible find, especially since it fits a modern, taller build (approx. 180-185 cm / 5'11" - 6'1"). Perfect for MACV-SOG, pilot, or door gunner impressions.

The iconic "First Team" in its highly desirable early configuration! We are offering a genuine, full-color 1st Cavalry Division shoulder sleeve insignia from the Vietnam War era. This is the sought-after "Cut Edge" variant, featuring a flat, un-merrowed border, which firmly dates it to the early-to-mid Vietnam period before thick overlocked edges became standard. Lightly used but in fantastic condition with vibrant colors. A massive, historic patch and a must-have for any Vietnam War collector or reenactor!

A massive relic of electronic warfare in Vietnam: The AN/QSG-126 Detection Transmitting Set, Acoustic.

This is an Inert / Training example dated 1968. It remains in excellent condition with the stabilizing fins still taped for storage.

The classic paratrooper arc! Up for sale is a genuine full-color black and gold AIRBORNE tab from the Cold War and Vietnam War era. This piece features traditional mid-century construction with a flat "Cut Edge" and the highly sought-after white bobbin "snowy back." This specific tab has fantastic "salty" character—the edges are noticeably frayed, a clear sign that it was honestly worn on a period combat uniform and later removed. The perfect, authentic foundational piece for any Vietnam-era paratrooper display!
