Legion72 Posted March 30, 2020 Share #27 Posted March 30, 2020 In 1964 I was at Bragg and went to Fatalburg and bought a set of Duck Hunter Camo at Sears & Roebuck on Hayes Street. I have a picture of me wearing them if I can find it. I am sure they had two upper chest pockets and burst-of-glory buttons. Caught Hell from the chicken shinola Bn.XO and told to get-rid of them. I gave them to a friend headed for MI school at Devens, no doubt latter The Nam. USAF BG Heini Aderholt, "Air Commando 1" gave me photos 30+ years ago. Subject was 1st Air Commando pilots, circa 1964 I believe, standing in front of their A1 Skyraiders wearing Duck Hunter camo, two bottom pockets, pen pocket of left chest, "burst of glory" buttons. They also wore Duck Hunter Camo snap up cowboy hats with, of all things, Thai Joint General Staff pins on the front. Not to mention S&W .357 magnum revolvers in the gunfighter rigs. The Air Commandos were a world unto themselves. I was TDY with them in 1965. Thanks to all y'all going to the trouble of sending us those GREAT pictures.

USMCRECON Posted January 22, 2023 Share #45 Posted January 22, 2023 I guess I'm pretty late to this party; just stumbled onto this topic re. duck hunter camo. I was a Recon Marine in Nam early 67 - mid 68. We didn't have a lot of camo utilities when I first got there. There were some left over tiger stripes, but the cotton material degraded rather quickly and most of them had fallen apart by this time. ERDL had not officially made its way into our supply chain until later in the year and those of us who had them, bought them from the local Vietnamese tailor on our combat base. A couple of my recon buddies did have parts of the duck hunter came. The attached picture is our recon team atop Hill 452 (I blotted out their faces and played with the exposure a bit to better show the trousers). One of my buddies, the one holding the Stoner, is wearing tiger trousers and the Marine far right is wearing the duck hunter trousers...FYI; that's the back of my head over the shoulder of the guy in duck hunters.

Hmsbrinmaric Posted October 29, 2023 Share #47 Posted October 29, 2023 Hello Eveyone, I got this salty set last year, the shirt is nice but faded, the pants are full of repairs. I believe they are period worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMC_COLLECTOR Posted November 3, 2023 Share #48 Posted November 3, 2023 Does the Marine in the duck hunter pants have a pair of cut down jungle boots? They look ankle length...
