TrenchfootJoe66 Posted June 28, 2014 Share #1156 Posted June 28, 2014 the 13 star button shirt could, possibly,maybe have seen military use, it's of the right period. Realistically ? Probably used by a hunter. Of the commercial shirts these are more desirable re the buttons. The Boonie looks to be super common Korean commercial fluff D Co. 5/20th Inf 2nd ID Camp Casey ROKHHC Scouts 2/7th Inf 24 ID Ft Stewart GAA Co. 4/12 Inf 1 AD Baumholder FRGHHC Scouts 4/12 Inf 1 AD Baumholder FRG Link to post Share on other sites
USCapturephotos Posted June 28, 2014 Share #1157 Posted June 28, 2014 Thanks for the feedback TrenchfootJoe. Yeah the pockets of the shirt appear to have maybe old blood stains on them...exactly where a hunter would place shot birds or other game. When you say "Korean fluff" does that mean stuff that may have been sold in tourist shops? Link to post Share on other sites
TrenchfootJoe66 Posted June 29, 2014 Share #1158 Posted June 29, 2014 No sweat GI. Most likely the boonie is made for the export market, available at K Mart, next to the fishing rods.

Pehaps you have some information or pictures you would like to share? Mark Mark P. Fraterrigo Owner Yankee Trader Relics Link to post Share on other sites
Yankee Trader Relics Posted July 1, 2014 Share #1161 Posted July 1, 2014 kammo-man (Owen) Received a response from Bob regarding the details surronding the beret. It appears I have a tourist copy. Bob explained to me how the ARVNs never used this and material left over from the war was used in Vietnam to create this type of beret for the tourist market. All this information will be included on my website, as I plan to start a section on fakes. I will be removing the item from the website. I do not want anyone to buy misrepresented material. A hearty thank you for the heads up. Cheers, Mark Mark P. Fraterrigo Owner Yankee Trader Relics Link to post Share on other sites
Mitch Posted July 1, 2014 Share #1162 Posted July 1, 2014 kammo-man (Owen) Thank you for your comment regarding the item I listed on the website as being fake. Can you tell me in detail as to why you state this is fake? Details supporting your comment appreciated. Details help me as well as other members of the forum. Pehaps you have some information or pictures you would like to share? Mark Hi Mark, I will see if I can help. The material to the outside of the beret looks too heavy . It looks like material from a uniform. The inside construction materials look all wrong to originals. The stamp to the inside looks like a quartermaster type of stamps you see in issued items. Camo berets for most part of the war were tailor made or local made. They were not issued. Most you encounter will have the plastic sweat diamond with foil size and or foil makers label. Also , I can't quite see the back where the tie strings are but it looks like it is sewn with a split to the back. To the best of my knowledge they did not do that. There were some very early ones split with drawstrings through eyelets but I have only see one real one. Hope this helps. Regards, Mitch Oh rats, I didn't see you had replied already.

matterhorn Posted September 23, 2014 Share #1164 Posted September 23, 2014 A picture from the Saigon Daily News in 1965 is of this female soldier in beogam. She is of the Black Tiger Rangers, note the shoulder sleeve and also the Ranger qualification badge. First up is a shot without color correction and then an image with color correction.
