TROUSERS, MAN'S, COTTON, WIND RESISTANT - Long Medium - 1969

A true time capsule for serious militaria collectors! Up for sale is a rare, early-issue U.S. Army multipurpose poncho dating back to the early Vietnam War era (late 50s/60s). Unlike later lightweight nylon versions, this heavy-duty poncho features thick rubberization on both sides in classic Olive Drab. It remains in incredible, unissued "deadstock" condition, still generously coated in the original factory white talcum powder used to prevent the rubber from sticking together during decades of storage.

The famed "Big Red One" from the Cold War and Vietnam era! Up for sale is a genuine US Army 1st Infantry Division shoulder sleeve insignia (SSI). This specific piece is a prime example of mid-century 1950s-1960s production. It features a traditional flat "Cut Edge" and the era-defining olive drab return thread on the reverse (known to collectors as a "Green Back"), easily distinguishing it from WWII issues. The patch is in perfect, unissued "mint" condition. An excellent addition to any Vietnam War or Cold War USAREUR collection!

The pride of the Infantry, still factory sealed! Up for sale is an incredibly rare, genuine Vietnam War-era Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB - 1st Award). This is the tactical Subdued (matte black) version authorized for field wear on Jungle Fatigues to maintain camouflage discipline. The badge is completely untouched, still sealed in its original military plastic packaging. The insert card clearly displays a DSA contract dated 10/70 (October 1970). A New Old Stock (NOS) holy grail for serious Vietnam War collectors.

The legendary "All American" paratroopers! Up for sale is a genuine, Vietnam War-era 2-piece shoulder patch for the 82nd Airborne Division. This is the tactical subdued version (OD/Black) featuring the classic "AA" square shield and a separate "AIRBORNE" tab. The period-correct flat "cut-edge" border, along with an unsealed reverse showing classic white bobbin threads, confirms it as a 100% authentic, US-made piece from the late 60s. Mint, unissued New Old Stock (NOS) condition.

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 backbone of the Vietnam grunt's gear! Up for sale is a genuine US military issue M-1956 cotton canvas suspender set (H-harness).

Despite its rugged look, it is structurally sound with no rips, tears, or broken parts. Supplied in the standard Regular size. This is the perfect choice for reenactors and collectors who want their gear to look like it actually spent a year in the jungle.

An authentic U.S. Army Pamphlet (PAM 350-12) issued in May 1967, right in the thick of the Vietnam War. Titled "Guide for Squad Leaders," this manual was essential reading for NCOs. It focuses on the psychological and practical aspects of leading men in combat, maintaining discipline, and building a cohesive squad. A fantastic historical reference and display piece for Vietnam War reenactors and militaria collectors.

A true special operations legend! Up for sale is a genuine US Navy lace-up wet weather parka. Originally produced during WWII, these rugged rubberized canvas pullovers became legendary during the Vietnam War, heavily favored by US Navy SEALs, UDTs, and USMC Force Recon to fight off the monsoon rains and river wind. This specific piece is in used, "salty" condition and features a unique factory flaw or field repair: the left sleeve is constructed from a noticeably darker shade of canvas. Features the classic U.S.N. chest stencil. Size Small (but cuts very large).

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.
