RiverRat Posted June 18, 2010 Share #1 Posted June 18, 2010 Hello, First off, I am not a collector but after nosing around the site for awhile there is some really interesting stuff that i had no idea existed. I am trying to acquire an authentic Vietnam era ERDL poplin camo beret we wore back in 68-69. They were issued to Mobile Riverine Force Sailors in in the River Assault Squadrons. A Brother river sailor has been helping me with a disability claim brought on by exposure to Agent Orange and I have been looking for an original beret like the one he lost over forty years ago before he came home. Through my research it is a lowland woodland pattern. Mine has a plastic map pouch inside. I would like to find a size 7 1/4 or (59) but that may be asking too much and I would be ecstatic if can just locate a correct beret. This brother has put in so much of his time to help me out that this is one of the only things I can do for him that would even come close to repaying him. He was in River Assault Squadron 15, I was in RAS 13. I have a picture of what it looks like and hopefully I will be able to post it. If there is anyone out there that can help me locate one it will be greatly appreciated. Steve, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
