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.

A very successful reproduction of the famous Tiger Stripe Boonie Hat, synonymous with US Special Forces and LRRPs during the Vietnam War. Made from 100% cotton, avoiding the shiny look of cheap synthetic copies. This hat will fade naturally over time for a "battle-hardened" look. An excellent, cost-effective alternative to rare originals for field use. Size Medium (fits 57-58 cm head circumference).

Bomber Jacket, Flying, Man's Intermediate, MA-1. Year of manufacture 1966. Size Large. Overall very nice condition. There are small holes in the knitting, see photo.

A "Holy Grail" item for Vietnam War and Special Operations collectors: The original "Preliminary Operator's and Organizational Maintenance Manual" for the STONER 63A (5.56mm Light Machinegun, Belt Fed). Published directly by the manufacturer, Cadillac Gage Company, this represents a rare piece of history associated almost exclusively with US Navy SEALs and elite units in Southeast Asia. The manual features intricate technical diagrams of the trigger group, receiver, and field stripping procedures.

A pristine vintage US Army Special Forces Beret dated August 1973. Manufactured by the highly collectible "Fleur de Lis" (Dorothea Knitting Mills), known for producing the best-shaped berets of the Vietnam era. It features a vintage 3rd Special Forces Group flash with the desirable "Cut Edge" construction and a pinned DUI crest. Note: Size is 6 1/4(extra small), making this a perfect display piece rather than wearable items.

Gas mask case XM 28 in original packaging.

Used M1956 suspenders from 1973. Inner side is not cotton but nylon. Size Large.

Used 1Q field bottle from 1969. The cover has a cotton trim.

A fantastic collector's piece from the late Vietnam War era: US Navy Inflatable Life Preserver, specification MIL-L-21047 (SHIPS). The stencil clearly dates the manufacture to APRIL 1973. Unlike many surplus vests, this one is in very nice, lightly used condition with vibrant markings and supple fabric. Comes complete with 4 CO2 cylinders installed.

Unused flight suit in ERDL Brown Dominant camouflage. Size for approx. 180-185cm. Missing manufacturer's label.
