Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

I picked this one up recently and would like a little help narrowing down the time frame of use. 1969 dated jungle jacket with Navy tapes and merrowed-edge trident--would this have been worn sometime iin the 1970s or even later? Insignia appears all to have been sewn on at the same time and looks to have been worn a while.

 

Thank you for any help you can provide!

May try running the name.Maybe member Kadet can help with a training class roster.I recall the UDT/SEAL museum has graduation class information.

 

Looks 80s to me.

 

The jungle jackets were worn for years after vietnam by various commands and quite common in SF and other units.

I was thinking the same thing, Ron.

His name does not show up in an early 90’s roster that I have that includes many of the older guys.

 

The patches I have show an od green border not black, but this just could be a different manufacture.

Ron's assessment is excellent and I would agree. The tapes have that late 70s to 80s composition of materials.

 

Nice Navy JJ!!!

Heres an earlier one - 1976, East Coast (left) and one sewn on a 1986 utility (right):

 

Thank you for checking. And great examples there!
