U.S. Marine Corps Unit Insignia in Vietnam 1961-1975 | Schiffer Book | Photo Reference

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.

Rare Vietnam War era waterproof bag featuring "Chieu Hoi" (Open Arms) propaganda text in Vietnamese. Designed to hold M16 magazines while encouraging enemy defection. Dated March 1970.

Genuine Shoulder Sleeve Insignia of the 44th Medical Brigade. Subdued olive drab/black version. Distinctive "Embroidered on Twill" construction. Authentic used condition (removed from uniform).

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.

Complete 3-piece vintage canteen set. Includes: 1) 1qt Plastic Canteen dated 1966 (Maker: ZARN), 2) Stainless Steel Canteen Cup (Unmarked), 3) M-1956 Canvas Cover with cotton trim. Perfect match for an early Vietnam War impression.

An excellent resource for naval history buffs and Vietnam War scholars. English language.
