Andrei Posted September 4, 2015 Share #1 Posted September 4, 2015 http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Special-Forces-Vietnam-Era-MAJORs-OG-107-Shirt-Exposed-Buttons-BADGED-/371430278703?hash=item567af8462f I know that someone here has a large grouping of this officer in his collection. I could not find the original thread and I would like to let him know about that shirt in case he would be interested to add it. I too had a nice OG-107 shirt from this officer's estate.

Andrei Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted September 5, 2015 Chuck A Allen??? The shirt and trousers I had in my collection were big size. I've seen pictures of major Chuck Allen and he looks too be a big boy so it could have been his garments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted March 1, 2018 Share #14 Posted March 1, 2018 I wonder why no CIB, he was an infantry officer, more over seems all SF officers got CIBs, even if their branch was not infantry, I source the large amount of Command & General Staff College yearbooks I got that show SF officers from all sorts of different branches, even Finance, with CIBs.

patches Posted April 4, 2018 Share #17 Posted April 4, 2018 Got it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Grouping-of-items-to-Special-Project-Delta-Detachment-B-52-5th-Special-Forces/292507831581?hash=item441ad34d1d:g:M2wAAOSw1R1awZL5 It's interesting t note that we now see a CIB, a cloth theater made one, and the card, strange as to why he wear none in the photo or are seen on the other uniforms.

ODA021 Posted April 5, 2018 Share #20 Posted April 5, 2018 I am the seller of the Allen items. I bought almost everything of his from his widow. Except all of the uniforms which had already been sold at the Fayetteville flea market. None of his uniforms in his photos have a CIB. Even the ones in Vietnam. And he had 3 tours on the ODA and ODB level, silver star, bronze star, 20+ air medals w/V device and so on. There were hundreds of pieces of loose insignia, theater made and us made, rolls of Bevo wings etc. I found a photo of some of it. THere is a CIB in that photo and I think there are a couple of metal ones. But it isnt uncommon to not see them on uniforms. I dont wear any skill badges on my Multicams. Just a personal preference. Feel free to ask any questions you might have. What I am selling now was some leftover items I didnt remember having and didnt sell with the main group.

Spy vs Spy Posted April 5, 2018 Share #23 Posted April 5, 2018 Sorry to ask but why do you need to write in the thread that you dropped Dave a PM? Will see if I can dig up some old pictures of the engraved Japan marked SF dagger. Regards Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BagmanL6 Posted April 5, 2018 Share #24 Posted April 5, 2018 Not sure why you'd ask. Not obligated to answer. With that said I wanted Dave to be aware that I have sent him a private message. Nothing more. Nothing less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
