USdog Posted May 31, 2014 Share #1 Posted May 31, 2014 Found this Vietnam era, 1969 dated flak vest today at a garage sale. Got it for $25! First one I've owned. They're pretty cool! Enjoy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USdog Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted May 31, 2014 Thanks Jay. I got pretty lucky.... The vest was in the guys trailer of his truck and was getting ready to put it into his daughters sale. I asked about it and seconds later it was mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDogMilitaria Posted May 31, 2014 Share #6 Posted May 31, 2014 I'm kind of a shy guy when I go to sales and what not, and I like to keep to myself and do my searches. But, one thing I've learned is, always ask if they have military! A lot of people either don't think there is value to it, or forgot they have it. I picked up an 80's dated flak vest and the guys helmet that way last Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOLO Posted June 2, 2014 Share #9 Posted June 2, 2014 $25.00 ? wow thats a steal. it would have probably cost that much for shipping if you got it off ebay thats a great find these days, you dont see them for sale as often as you use to and the surplus stores around here want $250 for a vest like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaigonSVFan95 Posted June 2, 2014 Share #10 Posted June 2, 2014 Wish I could find one that cheap! There's one close to me at the local surplus store that's around $90 at the moment :/ Little bit more than I have in cash at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
