Timberwolf Posted January 13, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 13, 2017 This was a recent gift from my collecting mentor for Christmas. Was going to purchase it but ended up being a great gift! Not really my collecting area, but I just thought it was too cool of a grouping to pass up. Looks like our Spec/5 served in the 1st Aviation Brigade's 176th Aviation Company which supported the Americal Divison. The service uniform is pretty straight forward with machine embroidered SSI and rank with a theater made ribbon bar and possibly theater made aircrew wings? Also on the uniform is a pocket hanger with a nice 176th Aviation Co. patch. Also part of the group was a great boonie cap with direct embroidery and some theater made 1st Aviation Brigade and Americal Div. patches on it. Also included is a South Korean Marine Camo shirt. All in all a solid Vietnam group that I'm happy to own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
