Copran Posted January 3, 2008 Share #29 Posted January 3, 2008 Dear all, Here is a picture of the of the CSDC set in US cut I got recently, you can see the slight colour difference with the set from NTS. All buttons are made in light brown unlike those from NTS which are black or dark brown.. The material is the same weight Following is another set I got, the pants is in ARVN fatigue cut, they match the shirt from Spike. Cheers Here is one with a tiger stripe cut.

nguoi tien su Posted January 4, 2008 Share #31 Posted January 4, 2008 HCMT, the material is rather thick. Note that there is a small pocket on the sleeve, contrary to the other models seen here. The buttons are black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick. Posted January 4, 2008 Share #32 Posted January 4, 2008 Hello all, again some wonderful items are presented here! On the subject of colour variations, here is one of my shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VALERY Posted January 4, 2008 Share #33 Posted January 4, 2008 Bonsoir , Spike, your trousers with the size tag is very interesting and could confirm that some such camo uniforms 've been made outside VN. Nice display Patrick, your boonie seems to be an offshore made (probably Okinawa). Has it the black twill sweat border and size marked by a white stamp? Cheers Valery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick. Posted January 4, 2008 Share #34 Posted January 4, 2008 Salut Valery, it does indeed! I have one more shirt, i shall attempt to photograph it next to the one pictured to show another major colour variation. Patrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted January 4, 2008 Share #35 Posted January 4, 2008 I got this hat from Manion's donkeys ears ago. I also have one of those hats like Patrick has, got it a the Great Western Gun Show in the late 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintageproductions Posted January 4, 2008 Share #36 Posted January 4, 2008 Bonsoir ,Spike, your trousers with the size tag is very interesting and could confirm that some such camo uniforms 've been made outside VN. Nice display Patrick, your boonie seems to be an offshore made (probably Okinawa). Has it the black twill sweat border and size marked by a white stamp? Cheers Valery From what we found out years ago, that some of the NPFF uniforms were also made on Okinawa during Vietnam. Especially the ones with the small white tags with the red woven size markings. Also, someone a long time ago said the ones that had the numbers stamped in them (1,2,3,etc), were also made outside of Vietnam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Patrol Posted January 5, 2008 Share #37 Posted January 5, 2008 Jason, As always, nice stuff! Here's a CISO pajama top from an identified SEAL group we literally just got a few weeks ago (thanks to those that helped find this SEAL grouping for our book!). In all my years of collecting, this is the only one I've ever seen from an identified group - and a SEAL group at that. If anyone has something like this, please post a pic. (I'm wondering if there are any PRU unit members that may have used this garment in this camo pattern?) Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nguoi tien su Posted January 5, 2008 Share #38 Posted January 5, 2008 Bonjour Valery, I also bought a trousers with a stamped "S" exactely the same style you can find in the TS shirts and pants. Surprisingly, it is on the outside of the pants. I will post is ASAP... in a few months, next time I come back... The other badge Cpt Tham has on his shirt is the psychological warfare badge. A+ NTS PS : River Patrol, Spike your shirts look greaaaaat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nguoi tien su Posted January 5, 2008 Share #39 Posted January 5, 2008 Here is an other cut and a slightly different pattern, I think. I borrowed the pix to one of my friends, this one is unfortunately not mine... The shirt shown by Patrick seems to be the most difficult to get.

Patrick. Posted January 6, 2008 Share #40 Posted January 6, 2008 Hello all, again some very nice items have been shown. I am glad to see that these garments are finally appreciated in a way that they deserve. As promised here is a shot of my other shirt.The sleeves are actually in a different shade to the main body of the shirt and have a more pronounced "pinkish" hue to the colour. You can just make out in the photo the "2" stamping in the collar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick. Posted January 6, 2008 Share #41 Posted January 6, 2008 Here is a detail of the buttons. A very thin plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick. Posted January 6, 2008 Share #42 Posted January 6, 2008 Here is another item i have always liked. The peak has some form of cellulose(?)/plastic material used as a stiffener. It has become brittle and broken into multiple pieces. This can be felt all over the entirety of the peak. I am correct in thinking that the 500 denotes a Saigon precinct/district? Also, what is the difference between the green and blue printed insignias? Patrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick. Posted January 6, 2008 Share #43 Posted January 6, 2008 A detail of the printed insignia to close. Patrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolfi Posted January 7, 2008 Share #44 Posted January 7, 2008 Hello Patrick 500 is the number of the headquarters of the Saigon Municipal Police Directorate.Saigon Directorate patches go up to, at least 515. The green patch, I've only ever seen ones with the number 500, is probably a fake. Real ones are blue and have a motto at the top of the disc.

Patrick. Posted January 7, 2008 Share #45 Posted January 7, 2008 Hello, another member has contacted me regarding the patch also...he is also of the opinion that the patch is a reproduction. Disappointing to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copran Posted January 7, 2008 Share #46 Posted January 7, 2008 Another Field Police I sold during the past due to its small size, but look to the variation of the camo colour. (The hat is a hunting Duck Hunter camo), the good ones are those shown by Spike or Patrick. Patrick, I suspect your hat is made post war from remaining material stock in Vietnam, and imported to the US or Europe by some dishonest Ebay Sellers (some of them from Canada or Ohio).
