US Army M-1951 Mountain Rucksack – Early Vietnam – Working Zipper – Used

An incredibly scarce piece of Vietnam War history: An original ARVN (Army of the Republic of Vietnam) field shirt. Unlike US gear, surviving ARVN uniforms are very hard to find. This item was sourced directly from Vietnam, adding to its provenance. It is in "Salty" / combat-worn condition, featuring holes near the collar and a missing pocket button. The sleeve shows a distinct "Ghost Patch" outline where insignia was removed. Fits like a US Small.

A compelling historical book detailing the gritty reality of the U.S. "Brown-water Navy" during the Vietnam War. This high-quality hardcover volume compiles authentic, first-hand stories from the Navy crews who manned the legendary Patrol Craft Fast (PCF) "Swift Boats" in the dangerous, ambush-prone river deltas of Southeast Asia. An excellent resource for naval history buffs and Vietnam War scholars. English language.

A spectacular piece of Vietnam War history: An original "Theater Made" (In-country) combat jacket in the ERDL Brown Dominant (Highland) camouflage pattern. Unlike standard issue gear, this was custom-tailored locally in SE Asia, a practice common among Special Forces and career officers. This specific example is in Unissued / NOS condition, retaining pristine colors and fabric stiffness – a virtually impossible find for theater-made gear.

A true combat veteran dripping with character! Up for sale is a genuine US M1 helmet rig from the Vietnam War era. This fantastic, named set belonged to an Army Chief Warrant Officer 3 (CW3) named W.

The liner boasts a beautiful crazed exterior patina and an original pinned rank insignia on the front. A superb named piece ready for research!

Paperback, English language.

The famed "Big Red One" from the Cold War and Vietnam era! Up for sale is a genuine US Army 1st Infantry Division shoulder sleeve insignia (SSI).
