Yes. It is usually called a Red Navy. They were marked that way at Mare Island. That ammo pouch is fairly rare too. -

Here’s a Vietnam fake that I purchased years ago, before I knew anything about these common and ugly attempts to deceive: It would now be easily recognized as a fake. -

Could we see the tag in the uniform? The UIM looks to be late 80's early 90's onward. -

Rakkasan187, read about your story with the Ultralight plane first at the German-German Museum at Mödlareuth, in the 2025 new build Museum building are several relics of "Escape from the Republic" on display, for instance a selfmade plane. -

For US grenades, it is pretty much fantasy. Can it been done? It is possible, but would most likely damage your teeth. This myth has been tested before a few times. They have tested the force to pull a factory set pin on US grenades, it was surprisingly a lot of force, more than what most people could do without damaging their teeth. This isn't and has never been taught in the US military. But, other countries grenades can be more force (harder) or less (easier) to pull the fuze pin/ignitor wire depending on the model. So is it possible? Yes, depending on the grenade model and the person, but would likely result in damaged teeth. -

I would like some help identifying this long percussion rifle that I have been offered. What I have learned is that it is Prussian produced by Saarn. Im not sure of the model - 1809? 1834? Im not sure - there is a number on butt looks like 1836 but im not sure if that is a date. i have read that both the Union and the Confederacy imported this type of Potsdam musket at start of war - does this look like it could be a civil war issued rifle and does it look original? The muzzle looks to have been cut down - im not sure if this was done upon issue or once returned to civilian use. how does its condition affect the value. Thank you for any comment/advice for verification and purchase.
