Reproduction Type I / 1st. Pattern Poplin Jungle Fatigue Set. These exact reproductions have all of the correct features you should expect. These include custom milled and dyed Poplin fabric, exposed buttons, gas flaps, button take up tabs, epaulettes, DSA labels, "Bandage" pocket, dual inner pen pockets in coat, gusseted sleeves, etc. Pants have button fly, button waist take up tabs, gas flap, leg ties, etc.
As per originals, our Poplin Jungles are true in pant size and oversized on the coats to allow for a baggy fit. On the pants, all regular inseams are 33" and actual waist sizes are: S (31) M (35) L (39) XL (43). On the jungle coats, the actual chest measurements are: S (42) M (46) L (50) XL (54).

Chi-Com AK Sling. These are original, 1960's / 1970's vintage military surplus Chinese Type 56 slings designed for use on the AK Rifle. This style sling features a wire roller at each end that is threaded around the sling swivels. This was an attempt to make a sling that would hold up better in jungle environments vs the leather tabs previously used. We have the hard to find 1960's brownish color slings.

Late War Light-Weight Sparse Tiger Stripe Set. These are the considered to be the "final" tiger pattern made during the war and came out in 1969. This pattern was used widely throughout the end of the end of the war and can be seen used in every theater of operations in country. The style was noted by its lightweight fabric and larger sizes. I have added a photo of a faded original next to the new reproduction to show the colors compared to one another.
Shirt features two double button chest pockets and straight cuffs.
Trousers feature two rear bellows pockets and two thigh bellows pockets with double buttons. Button fly closure. Inseams are "regular" length.

We have a small lot of vintage, American Red Cross Volunteer Uniforms as worn by "Donut Dollies" during the 1960's and 70's. These are not easy to find these days and these are actually in human sizes. We will give the label sizes below as well as the chest size measured at the arm pit straight across and at the waist. These are the correct, vintage style zip front with patch pockets. Two have later style volunteer patches (most of the Vietnam era dresses have a round shoulder patch) and one has no patch at all, but still has the original tag on the zipper. These would be great to display or to wear to a living history event.

We had an estate lot from a retired SEAL CDR and in the lot were several manuals / handouts. Included was this interactive, 27 page "manual" that was a handout given at BUDS to introduce SEALS to the "new" M16 rifle. Titled "Introduction & Nomenclature of The US Rifle 5.56MM, M16, M16A1" this booklet has diagrams and vocabulary building exercises. The premise is that you read a paragraph and then fill in the blank. When you get to the end of sections, you take quizzes labeling the parts. The goal is to build familiarity with the names of the working parts of the rifle through repetition.
We scanned the original and have reprinted it so you can have a new copy that is fresh and durable. The blanks have all been filled in by ENS Nelson, who was newly sent to the Naval Amphibious School at Coronado. His name is on the front cover and his hand written answers are in pencil are throughout. The fresh manual has infantry blue cardstock covers front and back just like the original.
The photo of the manual with is shown for comparison, but to be clear, this listing is for a new reproduction copy of the original. Learn More
This is a really cool, rare manual from the estate lot of our SEAL CDR. This is an interactive 27 page "manual" that was a handout given at BUDS to introduce SEALS to the "new" M16 rifle. Titled "Introduction & Nomenclature of The US Rifle 5.56MM, M16, M16A1" this booklet has diagrams and vocabulary building exercises. The premise is that you read a paragraph and then fill in the blank. When you get to the end of sections, you take quizzes labeling the parts. The goal is to build familiarity with the names of the working parts of the rifle through repetition.
The workbook is in excellent used condition, but the blanks have all been filled in by ENS Nelson who was newly sent to the Naval Amphibious School at Coronado. His name is on the front cover and his hand written answers in pencil are throughout. In the realm of M16 retro collecting as well as SEAL items, this is a cool piece and not something often encountered!

We had an estate lot from a retired SEAL CDR and in the lot were several manuals / handouts. Included was this Jan, 1967 dated Demolition of Explosives Manual put out by the U.D.T. Training Division. The manual is 77 pages long and has explanations of different explosives, detonators, their use etc. There is tons of training information / reference material as well as diagrams and notes. We scanned the original and have reprinted it so you can have a new copy that is fresh and durable.
The photo of the manual in a three ring binder is of the original for reference. We have reprinted the manual adding the correct pink cardstock covers front and back like the original for durability. We then placed in a retro styled metal long brad folder to keep with the vintage feel and a "realistic" look for a training handout. Learn More
This is a private purchase Duck Hunter Pattern "Cowboy Hat." This style boonie features a snap on side to allow one side to have the brim snapped in the upright position. This particular hat is really cool with the cheesy" plastic vintage chin cord and a deep crown. The chinstrap is bright green plastic with a leather keeper. The side snap to hold up the brim has pulled out of the hat, but this again is a testament to the use put on the hat. There is a label that says 73/8 but in staying with the owners size, it fits much smaller. I would estimate it to be a 7 to 71/8 lie the others. Like many other SEAL items we currently have listed, this came from the estate of a retired SEAL CDR. The photo in the listing is one of his team photos and you can see this type of hat being worn among the several styles shown. Note the deep crowns in the photo and this hat reflects that style.
