badash5946 Posted September 4, 2013 Share #9 Posted September 4, 2013 Thank you fellows! Next targets: - Rice Paddy Hat and/or black sun hat - Black and white or chesckered scarf - Ho Chi Minh sandals made of tires and rubber straps Ricardo. Nice items! Any history on the pj's? The belt is pretty unusual also. As for your want list: Rice Paddy Hat and/or black sun hat - period ones are difficult to find and very uncommon. - Black and white or chesckered scarf - scarves are not super common but they are out there. Many came back from Cambodia - Ho Chi Minh sandals made of tires and rubber straps - not too difficult to find, but getting a set with proven provenance to a VC is. (Jaunty Tilt website shows that they still have a pair avail) Good hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next targets: - Rice Paddy Hat and/or black sun hat - Black and white or chesckered scarf - Ho Chi Minh sandals made of tires and rubber straps Ricardo. Ricardo, I really like your new photos of the VC/NVA items displayed together. I thought you might enjoy seeing what I think is an original rice paddy hat that a soldier managed to bring home without tearing it up?? It is 22" diameter and about 8" tall at the crown. There is some sort of Asian characters on a piece of paper that has been interwoven within the inside of the hat, those are the only markings that I see. Not real sure of the age. I display it with my Japanese WWII and NVA Vietnam items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hueytaxi Posted December 14, 2013 Share #25 Posted December 14, 2013 Nice. I have a vest, shirt and SKS. One of the items I rarely see associated with the VC is a rice knife, like a mini sickle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
