Bring your vintage strobe light back to life! We are offering a precision-machined brass battery adapter that allows you to power the legendary US military SDU-5/E and SDU-39/N distress marker lights using a modern, readily available CR123 lithium battery. The original BA-1574/U mercury batteries have been out of production for decades, making this adapter the only reliable way to get your Vietnam or Cold War era strobe flashing again. The adapter includes a rubber O-ring for a weatherproof seal.

Authentic jungle gear with serious character! Up for sale is an original US Army M-1956 canvas cover for the standard 1-quart canteen. This is the highly desirable early variant featuring the all-cotton edge binding (later models switched to nylon to prevent fraying). The cover boasts an amazing "salty" combat patina, perfectly faded by the sun and field use, yet remains fully functional. The perfect addition to any early Vietnam War impression or collection.

An iconic signaling device from the Vietnam War era! We are offering an original US SDU-5/E (Light, Marker, Distress) strobe light, contract dated 1972. Originally issued to downed aviators, this high-intensity strobe became a favorite tool among special operations forces (MACV-SOG, LRRPs, SEALs) for marking LZs and signaling extraction choppers through the dense jungle canopy. This strobe is in beautiful collector condition and comes complete with its original nylon carrying pouch and the extremely rare, original vintage BA-1574/U battery (dated 1971). Due to the obsolete battery, functionality is untested; sold as a historical display piece.

The mark of the legendary "Redcatchers"! Up for sale is a genuine subdued shoulder patch (SSI) for the 199th Light Infantry Brigade from the Vietnam War era. This is a highly sought-after combat variant, featuring the flaming spearhead design embroidered in black thread directly onto an exposed Olive Drab green twill fabric background.

A cornerstone piece for any early Vietnam War collection!

The combat-ready jungle version! Up for sale is a genuine subdued (olive green and black) shoulder patch (SSI) for the 1st Aviation Brigade.

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.

An authentic, early Cold War-era "Infantry Leader's Handbook." This unique manual was published by the U.S. Army Infantry School at Fort Benning, compiled by the team behind the professional "Infantry" magazine.
