luft Posted January 28, 2017 Share #6 Posted January 28, 2017 Very nice find, not so often seen! And yes, it's the VII corps LRRP (ABN) - C Coy (LRP) 58th Inf. It was set up, if i recall correctly, in July 1961 and was stationed in Nellingen, Germany. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
