kammo-man Posted May 26, 2010 Share #5 Posted May 26, 2010 Hi there and welcome to the forum. This one stands a slim chance of being one of those elusive late war pieces. The cut is right . The buttons are right. The pattern is right. Now is it marked at all with any stamps in the back somewhere in the pock area ? This might be . Even though its the worst tiger pattern they kinda look goodish. now the bad flip side of the coin. They could be nasty fake bad boys made today by a faker just to make a buck. owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrenchfootJoe66 Posted May 26, 2010 Share #8 Posted May 26, 2010 Well, youve already heard from some of the Tiger experts on the forum, so take my W.A.G. w/ a grain of salt. I dont like them at all. They just give off that aura of having been made very recently. Did I see errant threads around the beltloops? The cloth looks cool but I think they the construction is recent. But again, there are others with more knowledge who may disagree. JW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwmiraldi67 Posted May 27, 2010 Share #11 Posted May 27, 2010 Regardless, they are NOT VNMC for sure, not even close to the sea wave pattern!!! p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintageproductions Posted May 27, 2010 Share #12 Posted May 27, 2010 Paul-Hate to argue with you but, the VNMC was wearing a pattern very similar in the very late stages of the war. But, I sure don't like this piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted May 27, 2010 Share #13 Posted May 27, 2010 Paul , Its not the pattern its the cut that has the issue. owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nguoi tien su Posted May 27, 2010 Share #14 Posted May 27, 2010 Owen, the cut is not specific to the VNMC, is it ? Otherwise, it is exactely what a VNMC should wear in 1974-75. What you often see in Vietnam nowadays is the same pattern, but ripstop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted May 27, 2010 Share #15 Posted May 27, 2010 NTS , When you see a front pocket cut like that with it extending up into the belt generally one thinks MC. The same with the single button on the back pocket. owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmiraldi67 Posted May 28, 2010 Share #16 Posted May 28, 2010 sorry, my bad, I keep forgetting the war continued to 1975, I always put the end at 1972 with the end of Americas "active" involvement keep forgetting the Viets fought for another 3 years I thought the pat was ripstop too sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nguoi tien su Posted May 28, 2010 Share #17 Posted May 28, 2010 Owen, I am quite perplexe with your answer. If I am not mistaken, loads of green ARVN uniforms have the exact cut you describe and they don't have the least relation with the VNMC.

kammo-man Posted May 28, 2010 Share #18 Posted May 28, 2010 NTS , You are looking a bit too deep into this. I said generally... Your fellow countryman Copran has a pair of VNMC trousers for sale in the uniform section right now that follow this upper style of pocket. I myself have a 2nd pattern mint set of VNMC that also follow this style dated 66 as well as a custom set in 3rd pattern which ALSO follows the same trend. Sure there were OD cut in this but its a pocket style that is found generally on marine garments. owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
