I’m happy to say I am that young man! I’m still actively working on getting that Flag and seeing if I can get in contact with the son to get his medals and dog tags. One of the best estate sales I’ve been to and I’m happy to say other than those few things I’m pretty sure the group is staying together! 

Nice vest, it will look great reenacting! Looks like it was made in 1971, and for $130 you did well. Don't think we do valuations here, but if you were to get that from eBay you would be paying a bit more and that's not including the shipping which can be big expense when armor vest collection.  

The actual medal portion is the same maker and numbered.  I wonder if it was a replacement ribbon and top portion.  Sorry for the photo 3 times.

Now besides the discussion on whether it is good or not (which I am sure of). What would a price range look like for something like this? I honestly have no idea. I’ve seen some GI for 40-400 so where does this one land in your guys opinion? Thank you for all the comments everyone really appreciate it, always glad to have a good discussion.

Any idea of the value?

A 1974 Photo of a Chinook, here it was at least just given the Red Paint Job on the rear area, and we guess was thought to be good enough, doesn't look like the forward area was done either.

R,    If I can secure it, it'll be at the end of the month. I'm really looking forward to the purchase!   John

I’m mainly looking for whatever I can get.  I’m mainly looking for infantry or maybe army air corps but if I have the chance I’ll probably settle with whatever I come across
