RECONDO Recon Team Manual Reprint | Vietnam 1970 | LRRP Tactics

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 massive relic of electronic warfare in Vietnam: The AN/QSG-126 Detection Transmitting Set, Acoustic. This 15kg air-delivered sensor was designed to be dropped onto the Ho Chi Minh Trail to detect Viet Cong movement as part of the secret Operation Igloo White (McNamara Line). This is an Inert / Training example dated 1968. It remains in excellent condition with the stabilizing fins still taped for storage.

An early-war combat classic! Up for sale is a genuine, period-original subdued shoulder sleeve insignia (SSI) for USARV (United States Army, Vietnam). This specific patch is the highly collectible and rare early "Subdued on Twill" variation manufactured between 1965 and 1967, featuring an exposed olive drab cotton-twill fabric base rather than a fully embroidered background. It is in nice, field-used, uniform-removed condition with plenty of authentic "been-there" character. A foundational patch for any serious Vietnam War display!

Unused US Army P38 can opener.

A pristine example of the most desirable private-purchase headgear in US Army history: The Morry Luxenberg "Green Beret".

The rear features a hand-painted roster number 350.
