alexd Posted June 21, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 21, 2009 Hi, here are some shirts I found, Vietnam Era and RDF. I'm not that great Vietnam Collector and there are some question coming with some of theese shirts. Here is the first, ERDL camo, poplin. Unfortunately it's used and a little bit damaged, it has only one label readable and a very funny modify: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexd Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share #2 Posted June 21, 2009 Second shirt is a brand new ERDL, brown dominant. The color appears to me very strange, is there any chance it can be a replica? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexd Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted June 21, 2009 Third and last is a RDF pattern shirt. The camo appears different from other RDF shirts I have. Same thing inside the shirt. It is different. It has a 75th Rangers, 2nd Bn Patch with Ranger Tab, 101st Airborne Combat patch and a Jungle Expert pocket patch. It has ranks but not name and US Army tapes.

bravo_2_zero Posted June 21, 2009 Share #6 Posted June 21, 2009 It's dated 1969 , the DSA number tell you the date. It also looks like the shirt is made from slightly different shades of camo which is common amongst ERDL period items. I have a few ERDL jackets and you can tell the fakes from the originals.

doyler Posted June 21, 2009 Share #7 Posted June 21, 2009 Your first shirt appears to be an early cotton poplin version,not easy to find.All good pieces in my opinion. RD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few ERDL jackets and you can tell the fakes from the originals. Thanks, anyway I know how to read the label. My suspect started becaus eI think that if I have to do a replica the first thing I copy is the label. I have another brown dominant ERDL shirt (USMC marked) but it's quite faded. But thread color is different and the camo too. Anyway, can be different lots of matherials and thread and different mfg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD Yes, it's one of those early cotton poplin version. Unfortunately is quite faded, some little holes and has a little damage on the neck. For 25$ bucks I think it'a good deal anyway.

Would love to see more like this on the forum. Contact me if you would like to trade or sell.. I miss the old uniforms. I need to start a new topic for Ranger bdu, erdls, rdfs, and og107s.
