US Army 9th Infantry Division Patch | Old Reliables | Subdued | Thin Border

Bring your vintage strobe light back to life! We are offering a precision-machined brass battery adapter that allows you to power the legendary US military SDU-5/E and SDU-39/N distress marker lights using a modern, readily available CR123 lithium battery. The original BA-1574/U mercury batteries have been out of production for decades, making this adapter the only reliable way to get your Vietnam or Cold War era strobe flashing again. The adapter includes a rubber O-ring for a weatherproof seal.

A perfect, period-correct piece for collectors and reenactors!

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 cover boasts an amazing "salty" combat patina, perfectly faded by the sun and field use, yet remains fully functional. The perfect addition to any early Vietnam War impression or collection.

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). This particular set has seen heavy field use and boasts an incredible, salty combat patina—faded canvas and worn-down brass hardware. 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.

The combat-ready jungle version! Up for sale is a genuine subdued (olive green and black) shoulder patch (SSI) for the 1st Aviation Brigade. This is the highly desirable early "Cut Edge" variant, produced during the short transitional period in the mid-1960s when the Army switched from full-color insignia to low-visibility combat patches. The patch is in flawless, unissued New Old Stock (NOS) condition. An absolute must-have authentic detail for your Vietnam War jungle fatigue build!

A true combat veteran dripping with character! Up for sale is a genuine US M1 helmet rig from the Vietnam War era. This fantastic, named set belonged to an Army Chief Warrant Officer 3 (CW3) named W. Harper. The rig consists of a 1960s-produced steel pot (McCord) paired with a Korean War era fiberglass liner (Micarta) – a classic configuration for Vietnam. The liner boasts a beautiful crazed exterior patina and an original pinned rank insignia on the front. A superb named piece ready for research!

The iconic "First Team" in its highly desirable early configuration! We are offering a genuine, full-color 1st Cavalry Division shoulder sleeve insignia from the Vietnam War era. This is the sought-after "Cut Edge" variant, featuring a flat, un-merrowed border, which firmly dates it to the early-to-mid Vietnam period before thick overlocked edges became standard.

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.
