Show Your Combat Used Items

[Nkomo]

I just found these in my closet recently and thought I'd post a picture. I got these from a guy who had bought out a storage building. He had a whole grouping of uniforms and paper goods that belonged to a Recon Marine from the 3rd Marine Division. His name was McVey and I think he was mentioned in one of my Viet-Nam paperback books. I only bought the pants because they had been dyed black. I passed on the 3rd Marine sweatshirt and the paper grouping like an idiot. A few months down the road, when I figued out who the guy was, the stuff was long gone. I think I paid $3 for the pants. They have numerous rips, tears, and repairs. I know these pants look like crap, but they are one of my favorite items in my collection. I was hoping some of the other members might show some of their used and abused combat uniforms from any time period. Thanks.

Good idea for a thread. I'm going to contribute this Bancroft Flighter that was worn by a fellow by the name of Mitchell. This cap was certainly worn quite a bit!
