The pinnacle of airborne qualification! Up for sale is a genuine, Vietnam War-era cloth parachute badge (Master Jump Wings) of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN). This is a high-quality, US-manufactured patch produced specifically for elite American personnel (US Advisors, MACV-SOG, Special Forces) who earned the prestigious Master rating while serving with South Vietnamese forces. Featuring the distinct star and wreath design, it is in excellent, unissued New Old Stock (NOS) condition with a period-correct cut-edge.

Genuine US Military Type IV Survival/Crash Axe. Manufactured by Frank & Warren. Museum quality with original blade sticker. Includes sheath, sharpening stone, and signal mirror.

An authentic US Army Special Forces Shoulder Sleeve Insignia. This item is historically significant as it features a Merrowed Edge (thick border) but carries a confirmable Vietnam War date. The original box label identifies the contract as DSA 100-67-C-1365 (Fiscal Year 1967), manufactured by Shalhoub Bros. This serves as definitive proof that merrowed edge patches were produced and issued during the late stages of the Vietnam War.

The perfect detail for an early Vietnam War uniform! Up for sale is a genuine US Army Infantry Officer sew-on collar branch insignia. This is the early full-color version (golden-yellow embroidery on OD green), heavily used on combat fatigues before the mandatory switch to subdued black insignia in 1966. Officers preferred these cloth sew-on versions over metal pin-on badges, as they didn't snag or cause painful pressure points under heavy field gear. It features a period-correct "cut-edge" and is in mint, unissued New Old Stock (NOS) condition.

Genuine Vietnam War era "Reel, Taped Barbed". Two coils in original carton. Contract DSA 700-69-C-1240 (1969). Flat razor-style wire. Unissued NOS. (152 chars)

Short Description: A rare piece of combat engineer field gear: A complete set of two "Reel, Taped Barbed" coils in their original cardboard dispenser box. This is the flat, razor-sharp barbed tape used for perimeter defense and booby traps during the Vietnam War. The box features clear stencil markings with contract DSA 700-69-C-1240, dating it precisely to 1969. Condition is NOS (New Old Stock) – clean and uncorroded.

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.

An extremely rare transitional piece from the early Vietnam War! Up for sale is a genuine "U.S. ARMY" branch tape in the tactical subdued (black) format. What makes this piece highly sought after is the backing material: the text is embroidered directly onto a strip of iconic HBT (Herringbone Twill) fabric. This combination of the dark embroidery (introduced in 1966) and the older, durable HBT canvas from the Korean War era makes it a classic transitional artifact. The tape is in perfect, unissued New Old Stock (NOS) condition.
