Thanks for the answer. It's not hard to push down, no harder than a mouse trap. It doesn't lock.

A little beat up, but looks good otherwise, Nestor.

Hi looking for  members to trade with British for American Vietnam Era patches   anyone i want British   

got this in last month, a 2nd gen AAI SPIW mag

I've mentioned this before, but the night vision parka with the liner is an amazingly warm piece of clothing. I know a lot of people ask why you need a parka with liner in the desert, and I will tell you it gets VERY cold, especially at night during the winter months.   We wore the parkas for warmth. The pants were widely worn as pajamas.   Allan

I believe Ludlow used both wire c-catches as well as cut ‘sheet’ catches so there’s no hard and fast rule as to which type of catch a maker used over the period they were producing the badges.

That is FANTASTIC !!  Thanks for sharing !! Mark

I think you're right Ken. Thanks CAC, I agree. 

Thanks

I found a pair of the trousers in a trift store one time but they would not sell them because they didn't have a price tag.🙃
