While based on the WWII M1941 pattern, the DSA 100-3510 stamp dates this specific production run to approx. 1965–1966. It is incredibly rare to find these in Unissued / New Old Stock condition.

REPRO beret in Tiger Stripe camouflage - size Medium 57/58.
A very successful reproduction of the famous Tiger Stripe Boonie Hat, synonymous with US Special Forces and LRRPs during the Vietnam War. Made from 100% cotton, avoiding the shiny look of cheap synthetic copies. This hat will fade naturally over time for a "battle-hardened" look. An excellent, cost-effective alternative to rare originals for field use. Size Medium (fits 57-58 cm head circumference).
A "Holy Grail" item for Vietnam War and Special Operations collectors: The original "Preliminary Operator's and Organizational Maintenance Manual" for the STONER 63A (5.56mm Light Machinegun, Belt Fed).

The manual features intricate technical diagrams of the trigger group, receiver, and field stripping procedures.

It features a 3/16" stainless steel blade and a hollow, waterproof handle designed to store survival essentials like matches, hooks, or pills. Clearly marked with the Garcia logo and "BRAZIL". Comes with the original leather sheath.
