Awesome!  CN would be the regimental Cannon Company I think.

Very cool!

Looking for an identification of a set of buttons. They are definitely US Army buttons with the Great Seal but I’m having trouble narrowing down the time frame (though I know it’s 1902+) and the manufacturer.   They are lightweight and remind me of Bakelite but I’m not sure they are. Google says they are “vegetable ivory” but I do not have any experience with that. The backmark is a star and then an arrow with a star on the non-pointed in. I thought a Google image search would ID them quickly but it has come up with nothing except a button collector’s society page that is no longer working.   I know there are hundreds of manufacturers so this may be a needle in a haystack but I figure it doesn’t hurt to ask.   Thanks!

Thanks. I asked for thoughts and I got what I asked for, that was exactly what I was looking for if there was a problem with it. I know there’s a lot of nuances with it so I thought I would ask before I commit. Thank you @Bruce Linz for your thoughts. I don’t see there being a need for any more posts now that it’s settled. Thanks all.

What years were these 2nd pattern jungle jackets issued?  Only today I picked up what appears to be an unissued one at the local swap meet.  I'm not up on the Viet Nam era uniforms as far as when variations were issued. So, I hope someone can chime in on my question. Thanks, Steve 

That’s good discernment

Yes it's sewn onto a uniform that i suspect is British or French made, The only markings are on the bottom pocket thats ink stamped "USA Size 42". This patch doesn't glow under a blacklight either.

Thank you, in that case it’s put away, it won’t be done.Thank you for your comment, if there’s one way it can be done wrong then it won’t happen. 

Kind of past the era when running was king. Saw this one in a lot on the 'bay.  

Hard to find…now find the black shipping tubes….took me years to find a few.
