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!
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 classic paratrooper arc! Up for sale is a genuine full-color black and gold AIRBORNE tab from the Cold War and Vietnam War era. This piece features traditional mid-century construction with a flat "Cut Edge" and the highly sought-after white bobbin "snowy back." This specific tab has fantastic "salty" character—the edges are noticeably frayed, a clear sign that it was honestly worn on a period combat uniform and later removed. The perfect, authentic foundational piece for any Vietnam-era paratrooper display!
Genuine carrier for the XM28 "Grasshopper" riot control mask. Still sealed in the original 1969 government packaging. Rare NOS condition. Famous "Tunnel Rat" gear.
The mark of the legendary "Redcatchers"! Up for sale is a genuine subdued shoulder patch (SSI) for the 199th Light Infantry Brigade from the Vietnam War era. This is a highly sought-after combat variant, featuring the flaming spearhead design embroidered in black thread directly onto an exposed Olive Drab green twill fabric background. Featuring a flat "Cut Edge" border, this patch is reliably dated to the transitional period of 1966-1968. It is in flawless, unissued New Old Stock (NOS) condition. The perfect, period-correct addition to any early Vietnam combat uniform build.
Genuine Cold War era US Military garrison trousers (Chinos). Classic cotton khaki twill. Dated October 1957 and features the original soldier's stenciled name. Extra small vintage size (Waist 68cm / ~27 inches). Excellent collector's condition.
An authentic, early Cold War-era "Infantry Leader's Handbook." This unique manual was published by the U.S. Army Infantry School at Fort Benning, compiled by the team behind the professional "Infantry" magazine. Featuring incredibly dramatic, expressive cover art of a GI in combat, it served as a practical guide for squad and platoon leaders bridging the gap between the Korean War and Vietnam. A superb collectible for military historians.

Feed the Pig! Up for sale is a fantastic, genuine Vietnam War-era US Military M19A1 ammunition can. This classic steel box features incredibly well-preserved original yellow stenciling from 1968. It originally held 200 rounds of 7.62mm linked ammunition for the iconic M60 machine gun. The stencils clearly detail the 4-to-1 Ball/Tracer mix and identify the Twin Cities Ordnance Plant (TW 68). The can is used but in great, fully functional condition with its rubber gasket intact and a beautiful authentic patina.
The legendary "Sky Soldiers"! Up for sale is a genuine, Vietnam War-era 2-piece shoulder patch for the 173rd Airborne Brigade. This is the tactical subdued version (OD/Black) featuring the classic winged-sword 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.
The classic badge of a combat-proven Infantryman! Up for sale is a genuine US Army Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB - 1st Award) in the traditional full-color metal and enamel finish. The reverse is stamped with the "V-21" hallmark, identifying it as a product of Vanguard Military Equipment Corp. Since the Institute of Heraldry introduced these alphanumeric codes in 1965, this badge perfectly dates to the Vietnam War era through the 1970s. It shows honest wear and a beautiful, authentic patina.
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.
A highly elusive piece for the advanced M7 collector: The US M7 Bayonet manufactured by FZR (Fraser Manufacturing Corp.). Fraser is considered one of the rarest Vietnam-era contractors, having produced only an estimated 40,000 units across two contracts in 1971 and 1972. Finding one in this condition is exceptional. The crossguard is stamped "M7 FZR". Paired with a correct period M8A1 scabbard by TWB.
The iconic "Sword of Vietnam" from the battle for Saigon! Up for sale is a genuine, Vietnam War-era shoulder patch (Shoulder Sleeve Insignia) for the II Field Force, Vietnam (II FFV). This massive corps-level command oversaw US operations in the critical III Corps Tactical Zone surrounding Saigon. This is the tactical subdued version (OD/Black) featuring a classic flat "cut-edge" border. The lack of a merrowed edge and the unsealed reverse confirm it as a 100% authentic, US-made piece produced during the conflict (late 1960s). Mint, unissued condition.
