mhk Posted September 8, 2009 Share #51 Posted September 8, 2009 Im quite noob when talking about tiger-stripes So im asking info about this shirt? which pattern is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Force Posted September 8, 2009 Share #52 Posted September 8, 2009 HI mhk the pictures are not realy sharp but it's definitely a "silver pattern" I'am not 100% sure if it's original or one of the extra nice MASH repro? but my feeling says it's a VN war period piece? Anyway even not bad If it's a MASH repro because the price of them is very close to the original ones! Whit some better pics. and a cloe up shot from the camo print we could make a more exactly statement. Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunbarrel Posted September 11, 2009 Share #57 Posted September 11, 2009 Ran across this photo tonight. It's graphic, but I thought you all would still like to see the uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted September 11, 2009 Share #58 Posted September 11, 2009 Awsome combat photograph . You can just feel the tension and stress of battle . It is written on the faces of everyone present . Looking deeper into the picture you will notice the uniforms damage . A stunning image .

filupe Posted September 13, 2009 Share #65 Posted September 13, 2009 What about this? I assumed it's a fake but I'd like to see experts' opinion. http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Old-USMC-Vietn...tZLH_DefaultDom I will not hold myself out as an 'expert' but I will share some observations: a.) I have seen this pattern on newsclips of SVN Marines evacuating Da Nang in 1975 b.) I have seen this cut of blouse (but in ARVN Ranger Leaf camo) on a picture dated 1974 c.) The material appears to be poplin, not ripstop as this particular camo pattern is often found in d.) Does not appear to be any stampings or any other markings Conclusion => The uniform itself is *possibly* from the late war era (1974-75), certainly after the cessation of the *majority* of US involvement. The lack of a stamping in the collar is a problem however. I cannot speak for the insignia - I do not know when the last USMC advisor left SVN but this shirt would indicate that it was '74-75. This might be the case but I am doubtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogtown Posted September 14, 2009 Share #73 Posted September 14, 2009 I was just catching up on my reading.... the first thread. You guys mentioned tigers used in movies. Back on post 1270 or so, there were some shots of one used in the Green Beret movie. I'm attaching photos of my set - matching shirt and pants in that very lightweight material. Note the buttons.... also the pockets (or lack thereof) on the pant legs. Just the flap is there. Interestingly, inside the pants is marked "Stacy w/leg on". Note the marked out "Western Costume Co" stamp as well. I'd love to try and match up my set with the photos Vintage Productions has of from the costume dept. Maybe see who wore this set by matching the stripes? Your thoughts and comments are appreciated. Man, I love this thread.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butcher Posted September 14, 2009 Share #74 Posted September 14, 2009 The buttons dont seem right but i did see John Wayne wearing his tigerstripes in the movie with these kind of buttons :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butcher Posted September 14, 2009 Share #75 Posted September 14, 2009 ...the none correct buttons as on your shirt and also used in the movie " Green Bererts " !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
