      After 130 plus views I was hopeful someone more well versed would reply, sans that, I will take a shot at this question.  I think time has shown that every collectable comes into its time and place as a desired item at some point.  I have only been collecting military items for 50 plus years but can remember when OG-107 jungle fatigues were stripped of their in country patches and the shirt dumpstered.  That said, there is a sticky for 'show your ACU's" and I posted a few bits under--  Trousers ACU and Marpat By Régis, September 1, 2025 in REAL OR WHAT? Both of which I feel would say YES, that ACU or UCP and even OCP are and or will be collectable to at least some level.  I would go so far as to suggest that 'new' or 'young' or those of very limited funding will be well served by collecting any one of these modern patterns.  I wish someone would post a checklist of all the many variations of these uniforms while they are plentiful and nice examplars can be photographed.  You may have seen the BDU outline posted by 32sbct back in 2013, it was very helpful in the ID of BDU variations.   Since I mostly collect post Vietnam women's uniforms, I only keep what I call a "Library" of Army camo uniforms.  What that means to me is one of each model or style for each camo pattern, (BDU, D-BDU, DCU, UCP, OCP and some of the OG's), and a few of the USAF, USN and USMC types as well. As an old guy who never played a video game I had to look up what "mw2" was, hopefully I've got it right and this answers the question.   I would like to see samples of your collection when you have time.  Cheers, Armygas

      Out with the boys again today. Still no sign of disposed militaria. But if there is a broken furniture and rotting lumber forum, I could join it. Maybe I can start one. I did spot a couple of nice flower pots I may go grab.

      A 1956 photo of a Adjutant General Branch Specialist 2nd Class at the Point, a member of some RA unit, doesn't look like he's wearing the USMA Unit crests, or they could be, can't tell what they're for, but he is wearing the USMA Cadre Faculty patch with I presume is that USMA PREP Tab.

      Very cool. Interesting variations between the two jackets. The VLJ is a treasure trove of jacket info. Thanks for posting. Dave
