An extremely rare original patch of the UDT (Underwater Demolition Teams) dating to the Korean War era. These elite "Frogmen" (often nicknamed "The Naked Warriors") were responsible for hydrographic reconnaissance and beach clearance ahead of amphibious landings like Inchon. These units are the direct lineage of the modern US Navy SEALs.
A museum-grade find: The Experimental Field Cargo Pack (Buttpack) from the 1954 EX-54 trials. This rare prototype is the direct forefather of the iconic M-1956 buttpack used in Vietnam. Produced in limited numbers for field testing, it features unique construction details and hardware distinctive to the 1954 experimental series.
Museum-grade 1952 dated OG-107 Sateen Shirt (Type I). Unissued / New Old Stock condition. Manufactured by Philadelphia Q.M. Depot. Size Small. Authentic Korean War era gear.
A magnificent and historically significant collector's set: Original Korean War M-1951 Fishtail Parka. This set is exceptional because all components are US Marine Corps issued, and the liner features the rare stencil "C. W. Bn.". This stands for Cold Weather Battalion, the specialized unit formed in 1951 at Pickel Meadows to train Marines for the freezing conditions of Korea (Chosin Reservoir campaign).
The Hood: Dated 1951, "U.S. Marine Corp." stamped, real fur ruff.
The Liner: Wool pile, stamped "U.S. Marine Corps Depot of Supplies" and "C. W. Bn."
The Shell: Heavy cotton sateen, heavy-duty brass zipper. Condition is remarkably good. Size Medium.
A vintage shoulder sleeve insignia for the 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment (503rd PIR), featuring their famous moniker "THE ROCK" earning during the WWII jump on Corregidor. Based on the construction (Merrowed Edge) and materials (Cotton threads that do not glow under UV light), this patch dates to the Post-War era (1950s or 1960s). It is typically found on reunion jackets or occupation-era uniforms.

Condition is NOS (New Old Stock) – crisp and unissued. Rare size 34x33.
Scarce pair of US Navy issued trousers, designated as "Army Type". These follow the pattern of the Army's M1943/M1945 field trousers, typically issued to Navy ground personnel like Seabees or Amphibious forces. Manufactured under specification PQD 45B, they are made from heavy smooth cotton sateen (not HBT). The trousers are in excellent, like-new condition with crisp fabric, but feature some visible staining/spots on one leg from long-term storage. Tagged size W34 L33.

A scarce and historically significant shoulder patch: The WWII Original Scroll of the 3rd Ranger Battalion. Part of "Darby's Rangers," the 3rd Bn fought in Sicily and Italy before being decimated alongside the 1st and 4th Battalions at the Battle of Cisterna (Anzio) in 1944. This patch features authentic wartime construction: embroidered on wool felt with a Cut Edge (non-merrowed) border. The reverse shows the correct "Snowy Back" stitching.
A scarce and highly desirable World War II original: The regimental patch for the 511th Parachute Infantry Regiment (511th PIR), part of the 11th Airborne Division ("The Angels"). Unlike the common ETO patches, insignia from the Pacific Theater (PTO) are much harder to find. This patch features the iconic "Angel" paratrooper design. It passes the UV light test (does not glow) and features the classic "Snowy Back" reverse and Cut Edge construction. Includes the AIRBORNE tab.
