agate hunter Posted January 19, 2013 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2013 Hey everyone, here are some VC items from my collection that I believe to be Vet bring back items. First up is a VC canteen that I was told was brought back by a 1st Marine Division vet who picked it up in 1967 in an operation in the Que son Valley. Its different than most other canteens due to the larger size and the blue cap, both traits of what might make it a medics canteen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agate hunter Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted January 19, 2013 Next up is a group of items I was told was brought back by a 18th engineer brigade vet who was there from 68 to 69. The seller told me her father in law bulldozed roads and cleared out abandoned enemy camps and there was always stuff left behind in those camps and that's where he usually got it. First up is what appears to be a little propiganda booklet possibley aimed at ROK troops because its in korean. I was told the bag was of french origin and was probably just used as a knap sack or ammo bag or what ever. Last is a standard chicom NVA belt in very used condition.

Darktide Posted January 19, 2013 Share #11 Posted January 19, 2013 I've seen lots of those canteens with the blue caps being sold in various markets in China and Vietnam. The canteens were all painted green though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
