He looks like the grenadier, “Roach” , from Apocalypse Now. 

Wish I could find something that cool at an estate sale.

Any updated info on these?

These came with a mix match of military pins etc.  A couple gold and silver incomplete EGAs.  I believe there is a name for these.  Just escapes me.  Thank You

That's an irrefutable opinion, aka,  a fact.   Supply and demand.    My attitude about collecting is enjoy it for the intrinsic enjoyment,  and don't count on profiting later or even "recovering your investment" (if you consider it an investment).     

Sadly there are less of us collectors everyday....So thats my opinion  Still a nice score

Are the recently made U marked magazines blued or parkerized?

Trench art- wondering if anyone can identify the caliber or anything more about this piece.

Militaria hoarder lucky....I don't know, it seems like there is lot more coming out of the woodwork and it is not being swallowed up by collectors as fast as it's coming out.  I love it all. It was almost surreal pulling this stuff out of the basement closet. 

Cool elephants! Welcome to this Forum. You’re probably going to get a wide variety of answers. In my case I was in a MACV Advisory Team, but our standard departure gifts were a plaque and an engraved lighter. The plaque has gone “walkabout”, but here’s the lighter:     I’ve never seen anyone gifted elephants before, but the range of possible gifts was infinite. Probably the production expense and uniqueness of a gift went up as the ranks went up, too. Let’s see what others have to say.   By the way, I have several ceramic elephants from Vietnam, of various sizes. I even went to a ceramics factory with my interpreter and picked out the colors I wanted.
