Here is another PT jumper with the insignia in question   Leigh 

I see! I just checked and it is so true haha

I’ve recently acquired a navy uniform set that consists of visor cap, jacket, pants and belt. The jacket is high collar and is 35 inches or a modern size men’s 34-36 short regular. The pants have a waist of 28 inches and an inseam of 30 and a seat of 32. The cap is roughly a size 7. Does anyone have any ideas for how to display it.

that battalion had a bn. xo that was a british exchange officer and the scrim was his idea from his service in england.

the scrim looked like the cabbage patch dolls that were a stupid rage at the time

Because of the scrim on their helmets.

Thank you so much for your response and evaluation :)) I was unsure if the 101st SSI was for Vietnam as the jungle jacket is the early war version, but I thought, that the 101st only got to Vietnam in about 1966 or so, but especially with Vietnam anything is possible with the gear and uniforms. Thanks for the heads up with the price. I wasn't sure as, living in Germany, even the most basic stuff is kinda expesive if it is from the US, but I will keep that in mind :))   Jules

Here’s my 101st lighter. 

Wondering what this might be worth. Served aboard several minesweepers pre-war, final service was aboard the USS Quail for the start of the war. Taken POW and died in captivity in 1943.
