US GI Signal Flare Container Bag A-7 | Sealed NOS Package | Dated 1975

A rare and identifiable piece of US Marine Corps history: An original M1 Helmet Liner used at The Basic School (TBS)in Quantico, Virginia. This is the institution where every Marine Officer is trained to be a rifle platoon commander. The liner features a high-gloss finish with a distinctive white tactical stripe and the TBS Unit Crest decal (reading "Esprit, Leadership, Knowledge"). The rear features a hand-painted roster number 350.

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.

Emergency radio for locating downed pilot URT-33 Beacon Radio. The battery cover is missing three screws and one eyelet is broken. There is a 1971 revision record on the side.

Used MP tape on fabric backing in ERDL masking. The tape is lightly used. The letters are ironed on the tape. The letter P is slightly peeling off (can be sewn on).

Unused cotton chin strap for M1 helmet. Infantry variant.

The backbone of the Army! Up for sale is a genuine pair of US Army Staff Sergeant (E-6) rank insignia patches. This is the highly desirable full-color (gold) version typical of the 1950s and 1960s (Cold War and Early Vietnam War eras). These patches feature textbook mid-century construction with flat "Cut Edges" and the classic white bobbin "snowy back." The pair is in beautiful, unissued mint condition. Perfect for completing a vintage Class A uniform or early Vietnam combat fatigue shirt!

Genuine 1966 dated fragmentation protective groin armor. "Diaper" style shorts designed to complement the M69 vest. Size 38 (Army). Unissued condition.

Genuine New Old Stock (NOS) battery BA-386/PRC-77. Originally manufactured in Thailand. Still sealed in factory plastic wrap. Designed for AN/PRC-25 and AN/PRC-77 manpack radios. Sold as a collectible display item only (functionality not guaranteed).

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.

The insignia of the Huey and Cobra heroes! Up for sale is a genuine, full-color shoulder patch (SSI) for the legendary 1st Aviation Brigade from the Vietnam War era. This is the highly desirable early variant featuring a flat "Cut Edge" border. The 1st Avn Bde was the backbone of American airmobile operations, operating the vast fleets of helicopters that defined the conflict. This patch is in pristine, unissued New Old Stock (NOS) condition with vibrant embroidery. A must-have for any Vietnam War or aviation gear collector.
