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

A genuine vintage US Military Headset manufactured by Astrocom Electronics. Designed for use with the iconic AN/PRC-25 and AN/PRC-77 manpack radios, typical of the Vietnam War and Cold War eras. The set features hard-shell earcups for noise attenuation, an adjustable boom microphone, and a complete cable assembly with an inline PTT (Push-to-Talk) switch box. It terminates in standard U-229/U audio connectors. Condition: Visually in nice vintage condition. Sold as-is, functionality has NOT been tested.

The definitive ruck of the early Vietnam War advisor: The US M-1951 Mountain Rucksack. Widely used by Special Forces before nylon gear became standard. This example is in used condition and features a fully functional lid zipper(rare!). Please note: There is a small tear/hole (approx. 1cm) in the canvas shown in the photos, consistent with its age and field use.

A prime example of the US Army "Rucksack, Tropical", the definitive pack of the Vietnam War. Dated 1968 (DSA 100-68-C-2782). Unlike the later ALICE pack, this features the distinctive spring-steel "X-Frame" to keep the load off the soldier's back in humid conditions. The nylon is in excellent condition with vibrant color. Includes two original utility lash straps. Note: One metal eyelet is missing from a side attachment tab.

A massive relic of electronic warfare in Vietnam: The AN/QSG-126 Detection Transmitting Set, Acoustic. This 15kg air-delivered sensor was designed to be dropped onto the Ho Chi Minh Trail to detect Viet Cong movement as part of the secret Operation Igloo White (McNamara Line). This is an Inert / Training example dated 1968. It remains in excellent condition with the stabilizing fins still taped for storage.
