kammo-man Posted August 10, 2016 Share #1 Posted August 10, 2016 I was out hunting with my wife for a vintage watering can last Sunday and found this jacket at the flea market. A nice N company 75th Cammo. The dudes call sign Whiskey. It's still out there Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinjmpr Posted August 11, 2016 Share #11 Posted August 11, 2016 I thought full color patches were long gone by the time the ERDL pattern was used? Or did LRP/Ranger units get the ERDL's earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfneve Posted August 11, 2016 Share #12 Posted August 11, 2016 Some LRRP units did get ERDLs early. But this is late war Rangers. Very well documented that N Company used full color insignia through 1971 in my book. Wemple served with them in 70-71. Can't lump all LRRP/LRP/Ranger units together. Different units did different things at different times. -Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kammo-man Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share #17 Posted September 4, 2016 The guy told me he also has the trousers but he has to find them. He thought a paintball player would have bought the stuff to game in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
