kphfun Posted June 26, 2008 Share #177 Posted June 26, 2008 Sweet score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-X Posted June 26, 2008 Share #178 Posted June 26, 2008 It looks like I can see Medical BOS on the Jungle Jacket. Can we see close ups of the 2 Uniforms? The pack on the left looks like it is a Vietnam SF CIDG ruck made CISO. But it could be a copy. Its hard to tell from the pic. Can I see some pics of the left hand pack also?

RRA227 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share #179 Posted June 26, 2008 Justin,Yes. The guy was a medic. He was a major.It has all the straps, bandages, inflatable splint and other stuff inside.Is it special?I do not know. Captainofthe7th,No.Airborne&Ranger tabs.He was a major. kphfun,Thanks. Wish he was going to sell his knives and other stuff also.Sucks that he had no trousers.He had some 5 colour desert and woodland camo for sale also.That stuff is not my kind of stuff. Mr-X.He was a medic&major. The pack in question was his when he was in 'Nam I was told. Forgot what jacket he said he wore in Phenom Pen. The camo jacket has a USSF scroll and a theater made patch on the pocket. I will post better pics of the jackets and pack.He is still active duty in VA. behind a desk. I think in the legal branch. THANKS for the help guys! Rich A. in Pa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polygon Posted June 26, 2008 Share #181 Posted June 26, 2008 Nice find, it reminds me of a time when someone was selling what appeared to be a full 'Nam era med pack for $30 and I passed it up. In retrospect, I probably should have bought it, but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polygon Posted June 26, 2008 Share #183 Posted June 26, 2008 Those jackets were also a good find because when I typically run across jungle jackets (which isn't all that often), they never have insignia it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
