riflegreen297 Posted December 6, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 6, 2014 Did anyone here win this uniform? It would have been nice to have a trifecta of named ARVN ABN Advisor uniforms of lightweight ERDL, Windproofs and then this heavyweight but I was beat out. Oh well next time maybe.

HistoryNut Posted December 6, 2014 Share #2 Posted December 6, 2014 I was hoping someone on the forum won the bidding and would post it. I have picked up several documents named to him in separate auctions. I came across the uniform only after purchasing the documents and researching his name. Apparently all of his things were sold at an estate sale...wish I could stumble on a sale like that. Below is a photo I found of him on line. He is bottom row, far right. Thanks for posting!

kammo-man Posted December 6, 2014 Share #3 Posted December 6, 2014 I was not aware of the auction till it was finished . Great suit. Invisible ERDL is hard to find. owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted December 6, 2014 Share #4 Posted December 6, 2014 Wow, what a great set. Very hard to find. How did I miss that. Whoever won it, got a great addition to their collection. Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrei Posted December 6, 2014 Share #5 Posted December 6, 2014 I was beated too... Probably of the coolest Team 162 set I've ever seen. I have a lightweight ARVN ERDL set and I would have loved to own this Invisible set too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintageproductions Posted December 7, 2014 Share #6 Posted December 7, 2014 I think it was listed under Militaria, time unknown or whatever that section is called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riflegreen297 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted December 7, 2014 It was under Vietnam (1961-75) (Original) (Uniforms), but it had kind of a disjointed listing title. Here are some more photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted December 7, 2014 Share #8 Posted December 7, 2014 Geez, I found it now and it was in my home state and according to the bidding alot of other people found it. I'm sure the seller was a little surprised by the final winning bid. Again a great set. Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riflegreen297 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted December 7, 2014 Yeah, at about 10 seconds out I was going to drop my $2500 bid in on it and about that time it went beyond my limit of what I felt it was worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogface44 Posted December 8, 2014 Share #10 Posted December 8, 2014 Here's the link for info. New to Vietnam but eager to learn and Master information found here on USMF thanks to Owen, Bob and Co. I rarely interfere in the Vietnam topics but I take the opportunity to thank the Vietnam collectors on this forum for sharing their extensive knowledge and for what I have been learning thru your various posts in the last few months. Great jacket btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
