The combat-ready jungle version! Up for sale is a genuine subdued (olive green and black) shoulder patch (SSI) for the 1st Aviation Brigade. This is the highly desirable early "Cut Edge" variant, produced during the short transitional period in the mid-1960s when the Army switched from full-color insignia to low-visibility combat patches. The patch is in flawless, unissued New Old Stock (NOS) condition. An absolute must-have authentic detail for your Vietnam War jungle fatigue build!

A true unicorn for Green Beret collectors! Up for sale is a genuine and exceptionally rare early "SPECIAL FORCES" tab from the 1950s–1960s. While the official SF tab wasn't authorized until 1983, this piece originates from early experimental runs. It is woven with a teal/light blue background designed to perfectly "color-match" the iconic Special Forces arrowhead patch. This tab features classic vintage construction with a flat "Cut Edge" and a textbook white bobbin "snowy back." Lightly used with an authentic, "been there" patina. You won't find this at an average surplus show!

The airborne pride of US Advisors! Up for sale is a genuine, Vietnam War-era cloth parachute badge (Senior Jump Wings) of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN). Rather than a local Asian copy, this is a high-quality, US-manufactured patch. These were produced specifically for American personnel (US Advisors, MACV-SOG, Airborne units) who earned the qualification while serving in Vietnam and wore the badge on their US uniforms. It is in excellent, unissued New Old Stock (NOS) condition with a period-correct cut-edge.

A piece of aviation history with real field use! Up for sale is a genuine, Vietnam War-era Republic of Vietnam Air Force (VNAF - Khong Quan) patch. This is a beautiful factory-woven variant, known for its flat profile and incredibly fine, sharp details compared to standard embroidery. Featuring a winged dragon and the motto "TỔ QUỐC KHÔNG GIAN" (Fatherland and Space/Sky). This patch is used and was carefully removed from an original uniform, retaining its folded edges and an authentic "salty" patina. A great piece for ARVN and US advisor collectors.

Genuine OG-107 Cotton Sateen shirt. Features Ranger Tab, 82nd Airborne patch, Jump Wings, and 1st Lieutenant Infantry collar insignia. Heavy starch "garrison" finish. Good vintage condition.

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.

Unused Waterproof Backpack Bag, Waterproof, Clothing. Date of manufacture 1967 and 1968.

A collector's gem from the early days of subdued insignia! Up for sale is a genuine "U.S. ARMY" branch tape from the early stages of the Vietnam War. Unlike the more common embroidered tapes, this is the highly sought-after printed version. This quick and cheap manufacturing method was used right after the Army authorized subdued insignia in 1966. Because the ink washed out and faded extremely quickly in the jungle, they were soon replaced. This specific piece is in pristine, unissued New Old Stock (NOS) condition—never washed, never sewn, with flawlessly sharp, dark text. The ultimate finishing touch for an authentic early-war jungle fatigue jacket.

A unicorn for vintage collectors and reenactors with larger heads: An original Vietnam War era US Army Field Grade Officer's Service Cap. This cap features the distinctive gold bullion oak leaf embroidery on the visor (commonly known as "Scrambled Eggs"), designating the rank of Major through Colonel. 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. Condition is excellent/very good.

An exceptional piece of Marine Corps history. Authentic 1968 USMC green tunic belonging to a Master Gunnery Sergeant. Features a direct-sewn ribbon rack spanning WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, along with 6 hash marks (24 years of service). Size 36R.

"Follow Me!" – the legendary creed of the US Infantry! Up for sale is a genuine subdued shoulder patch (SSI) for the US Army Infantry School (Fort Benning) from the Vietnam War era. Featuring the iconic upward-pointing bayonet, this patch is the ultimate symbol of infantry leadership. This is a highly sought-after early combat variant featuring a flat "Cut Edge" border, reliably dating it to the transitional period of 1966-1968. The patch is in lightly used condition, likely removed from a period uniform, giving it an authentic, salty combat patina.
