Interesting Beo Gam image of the lady. Especially with the Rnager insignia. I will dig out some of my duck hunter / beo gam to display on this forum

Here's a link to a Craigslist ad I found this morning. I'm assuming all are hunting suits because they're labeled VN and so cheap but thought someone here may want them anyway. I'd think anyone knowledgeable enough to title them this way at 10 bucks each also knows the rest of the story. He's only three hours from me but I'm going with my gut this time.

Picked this up at a vintage clothing store about a month back. Looks like it was a straight pocket utility type shirt that had been tailored through the body as well as having the chest pockets slanted.

Nice faded twill CIB. Sleeves were cut off at some point to make for a cooler wear on patrol or around camp?

Back with view of the full pattern and unusual shirt type yoke.

I received the SF badged Beogam shirt, you might have been able to see from the pic that all insignia including the name tape has been over-dyed and the name tape has been hand cammed to match the Beogam pattern to some degree.

 

As there are no labels, Is this the CISO pattern of Beogam or one of the off the shelf uniforms?

I have 2.

A mint one and a lightly used one.

Mine are the single grommet type which are way different from the later double grommet type on ebay.

I think there is 1 other out there.

I consider this one of the rarest pieces of headgear from the Vietnam war.

I missed one of these listed on ebay about six or seven years ago. The pictures were terrible and I thought I'd get It, put In a high bid at the last minute but someone else knew what It was and pipped me by five bucks.

 

I've got a single grommet tiger which Is quite nice.

I would love to see that one Guy.

 

I'll take some pics tomorrow mate.

 

Shall we start a new thread, patrol caps and covers?

 

Yours, Guy.

I'm glad you like It, It looks pretty terrible In the pictures but much better in the 'flesh'. Do you remember me telling you I've got a Japanese made beret In this same early pattern.

Oh !

Thats nice
