VU-1035 Amazing grouping to the last full term
commander of the famous "Seawolves", HAL-3, the Navy's only
attack helicopter squadron in Vietnam. Their mission was to
protect the River Patrol Boats, Riverine Forces and Navy
SEALs, operating in the Mekong Delta. This grouping was
obtained by me directly from the picker who purchased these
items from the Veteran himself. After purchase, in 2000, I
spoke with this Officer at length about his artifacts and
service and plans to vist him the next year. Unfortunately
he passed away before that visit. I met with his Daughter
and was able to make copies from his photo album, and some
paperwork which are in the CD shown.
This
Commander flew many combat missions between 1971 and 1972
and was decorated for valor numerous times. His South
Vietnamese Navy Medal Distinguished Medal and original
document are present along with some citations. The
Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry certificates and some other
citations which accompanied them are copies, which his
daughter allowed me to make. I owned multiple fatigue
uniforms of his, and one of them was shown in my book
covering Uniforms and Insignia of the River Patrol Forces.
The original photo of the Captain shows him wearing this
exact shirt, which you can match up perfectly. What is also
interesting, is that of the shirts that were in the group,
half of them had been used by someone else!! Green fatigues
were in short supply for the Navy and they had trouble,
throughout the War, obtaining sufficient jungle boots and
combat clothing. Very RARE Grouping from the squadron CO.

VU-1032 Fantastic Special Forces Airborne Ranger
Officers grouping, obtained directly from the man himself.
Includes uniforms he was issued before and during his time
in Vietnam . He entered service in 1969 and
served until 1999. When he landed in Vietnam he was
originally assigned to CCN, but when he arrived he was told
that his place had been taken by another. He then was
assigned to the Individual Training Group program and ended
up with FANK training the Khmer. He is shown wearing his
FANK beret flash on his beret. He ran the mission programs
of Cambodian troops being trained and tested against the NVA.
He was assigned to Camp B-36 and was also in charge of
A-Team, A-363. His call sign was "Duster 66".
The pin on pocket hanger with bow, on his sterile set of
fatigues, is the Cambodian 12TH Brigade of the 9TH Infantry of which
he was an Advisor and combatant with. The other pocket
hanger was a badge he was given to enter the Cambodian
Capital Palace. Besides the 2 jungle jackets there are
a couple of other shirts, some insignia removed. The loose
patches include his pin on Cambodian Airborne pocket patch,
pin now missing from the back, as well as a second patch
with an interesting story. The green labels were filled out
and put on by this Officer. The Tiger patch was given to him
by a Cambodian in that unit. There base allowed families to
live with them. The NVA and VC overran their base and wiped
out everyone, including the families, so the unit ceased to
exist at that point. The NVA buckle was an item he captured
and the South Vietnamese flag was one of his bring back
trophies. The photos are not originals, he is retaining
those. $995
I will also be listing a collection of Cambodian patches
that he did NOT wear. Ones he obtained for souvenirs. They
will be listed in the patch section. I hopefully will be
getting more material in the near future.

VU-1046 Special Forces, Thai Made, Japanese produced ERDL
pattern, Flight Suit in a US Size Large. This NCO did 2
tours with SOG. The first tour was with FOB#3 with Command
Control South, CCS. 1967-1968. The second tour was with
STRATA at MMFOB, "Monkey Mountain Forward Operating Base"
1970-1972. SOG decided to initiate a new program whose
missions would be shorter in duration, conducted closer to
South Vietnam, and carried out by smaller teams. Every
effort would be expended to retrieve the teams when their
missions were accomplished. This was the origin of STRATA,
the all-Vietnamese Short Term Road watch and Target
Acquisition teams. $425

we have ever offered. This grouping consists of Uniforms,
Medals, Insignia from this Medical Officer's own history, as

Vietnamese made boiler, a large box of pills in bottles,
glass vials and powders, syringes, stethoscopes, scalpels,
forceps, rubber lines for transfusions, bottle for

surgical cap and surgical face mask. There is also a cache
of Viet Cong hand written medical texts, notes, diagrams and
treatment plans..There are black windbreaker style trousers
and a very rare Viet Cong propaganda sign made from part of
a C-Ration box. An unbelievable archive worthy of the best
