Tet Hue NVA Uniform and Grenades

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 a
Marine 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.

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.

Great items and display!

 

Thanks! I've been taking photos of the uniforms in my collection lately - this one is a fave because of the attribution.

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

Great display. The last one of these I saw still had the original owner inside. What a mess he was! MHJ

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
