badash5946 Posted February 15, 2018 Share #1 Posted February 15, 2018 I purchased this standard NVA OD uniform and four pocket grenade pouch with two grenades about 22 years ago from a dealer who was breaking up a grouping that he had purchased from aMarine Unfortunately I had missed out on several other of his items - I'd have bought the whole grouping. When they arrived I noticed that the Marine had written his name in both the shirt and on the back of the grenade pouch, and it immediately became an absolute favorite of my uniform and Tet collection.I also purchased a canvas ChiCom rpg carrier from the dealer at about the same time but I do not know if it came from the same Marine - I think it did but cannot recall now.

badash5946 Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted February 15, 2018 Closeup of the two grenades and what looks to be shrapnel damage to the sling. The belt and shoes were not a part of the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlewilly Posted March 14, 2018 Share #10 Posted March 14, 2018 Great display. The last one of these I saw still had the original owner inside. What a mess he was! MHJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy vs Spy Posted March 15, 2018 Share #11 Posted March 15, 2018 This is one of the best displays / setups I'we seen BadAsh. Even better that it's documented. Very inspiring, now I want to start organizing my two NVA and Main Force setup's. Best Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badash5946 Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share #13 Posted March 15, 2018 Thanks all - this is one of my favorite groupings. And...a longtime close collecting friend has just agreed to sell me his sks that i have admired for a long time! The plaque on it says it all, and I will be so happy and proud to add it to my Tet display. More on it later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
