US Special Forces Combat Recon Manual Reprint | Project Delta | Vietnam

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. Harper. The rig consists of a 1960s-produced steel pot (McCord) paired with a Korean War era fiberglass liner (Micarta) – a classic configuration for Vietnam. The liner boasts a beautiful crazed exterior patina and an original pinned rank insignia on the front. A superb named piece ready for research!

A true museum piece for the Vietnam War collector: An original "DRAFT COPY" of the Preliminary Operation and Maintenance Manual for the Submachine Gun, 5.56-MM, XM177E2.
