501stGeronimo Posted April 11, 2013 Share #1 Posted April 11, 2013 Gathered up these jackets over the past few months and they are the new additions to the Ever Expanding Vietnam Jungle Jackets collection. Picked up the Special Warfare Jacket with the Ghosts of the Early Special Forces Patch and his Senior jump wings and US ARMY Tape, Nametape and his Major or Lt.Col collar insignia. The exposed jungle jacket dated '63 is pretty nice. The USMC jungle jacket with the hand stenciled USMC was from a "Marine Force Recon" member, bought the jacket not the story and a few other jackets. ENJOY!!!

kammo-man Posted April 12, 2013 Share #8 Posted April 12, 2013 USMC patched items from Vietnam like this are 10 times more rare than a 1st model SF jungle patched up in color . owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

501stGeronimo Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share #14 Posted April 15, 2013 The outline of the letters from the nametape of the special warfare jacket have the last letters " IES". Can anyone help pinpoint maybe who that might have been. He has either a Major's leaves or Lt. Col's leaves on the collar.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
