👍😁 I saw three of those on the highway the other day. Quite popular here in California. They are more popular than a Cybertruck.  OK, seriously, what the heck is it?  mikie

I’ve never seen this style of cloak before. Does anyone have a idea of what model it is

I don’t have one but I’m thinking about getting one. Can anyone give me a approximate value for a enlisted man’s dress blues coat and maybe the value of a dress blues visor cap and pants 

Lovely looking medal and in great condition too. Thanks for posting!  

Wow!! This is amazing!! Thank you so much and for the information! shall take a closer look.

Done so that the buttons don't show through when ironed. Same as sewing the pockets shut.   

That's an unusual modification. I've never seen the trouser pocket used on a top before. 

Did you end up buying any? If so, can you post some pictures?

The Zippo appears to be authentic, with decent engraving, but frankly I am “on the fence” about this being a non-fake for several reasons:   1. “III CALC” would seem to be for some advisory unit in III Corps. But I cannot determine what that abbreviation stands for. It MAY be for the 3rd Area Logistical Command, but we need a better connection.   2. In 1963 we had relatively few advisors in-country, an estimated 16,000.   3. I’m unsure whether the whole in-country Zippo lighter engraving business had even started up by 1964.   4. Yes, the black paint in the letters is troubling.   5. The name and service number could have been “plucked” from the Internet. Or not. We need more information.   Summary: My opinion is that it is unknown, absent more information, whether this is the “real deal.” If we could somehow tie the Area Logistical Command to this Captain, then that would really help.

One thing you can count on with this Forum is aznation!
