Manual Ammunition, General - 1969

A classic American blade with significant military history: The Schrade Walden H-15. While marketed as a civilian hunting knife in the 1960s, it became a legendary "Private Purchase" (PX) item carried by thousands of US soldiers during the Vietnam War. It features the iconic stacked leather handle with red and white spacers and a carbon steel clip-point blade. The tang is stamped SCHRADE-WALDEN N.Y. U.S.A.. Includes the correct original leather sheath stamped "BOWIE HUNTER".

The definitive guidebook for the US Army Special Forces during the height of the Vietnam War. This original FM 31-21 Special Forces Operations manual is dated June 3, 1965. It outlines the core doctrine of the Green Berets, focusing on Unconventional Warfare (UW), counter-insurgency, and the organization of Guerrilla Warfare behind enemy lines. A vital resource for historians and reenactors.

Genuine US Marine Corps Drill Instructor belt. Modified M1956 pistol belt featuring the iconic heavy brass buckle with Eagle, Globe, and Anchor emblem. Size Medium. Excellent vintage condition.

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 highly desirable Technical Manual (TM 9-1005-249-14) dated August 1966. This manual is a treasure trove for early Vietnam War collectors. It covers the maintenance and repair of the M16 and XM16E1 rifles, but its primary value lies in the inclusion of the XM148 40mm Grenade Launcher. The XM148 was an experimental, failure-prone predecessor to the M203, used briefly by US Special Forces. Original documentation for the XM148 is extremely scarce.

Genuine WWII era USN N-3 Utility shirt. Contract NXSX-84254. Period modified with short sleeves for Vietnam/Tropical service. Features USN stencil and US Navy tape. Warehouse condition. Size 15 (Medium).

Genuine 1964 dated OG-107 Cotton Sateen shirt. Type III (pointed pockets). Features stenciled name "E.E. Akers". Note: One broken button. Size fits like Small.

Genuine US Marine Corps Pattern 1956 Utility Trousers. OG-107 Cotton Sateen fabric. Distinctive round rear pockets. Waist 80 cm (approx. 31.5"). Used condition, one broken button.

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.

Decal for helmet/liner - Airborne arch. The product is from the 60's, can not guarantee the possibility of application on the helmet/liner.

Genuine US Military Issue Safety Line / Extraction Rope, dating to the late Vietnam War era. Unlike bulk rope, this item features factory spliced/braided eyes at the ends, indicating it was issued as a specific assembly (e.g., for helicopter crew safety or STABO rigs). It comes with the original heavy-duty steel carabiner stamped "WYOTT 72". Condition: New Old Stock (NOS), excellent preservation.

Genuine 1970 Vietnam era OG-107 shirt named to BROSS. Features subdued 101st Airborne shoulder insignia and a rare Army Security Agency (ASA) combat patch. Size 14 ½ x 31 (Small).
