US Army Senior Aircrew Wings, 1965-67
Excellent pair of sterling wings used by US Army helicopter aircrew. The hallmark 22M and Sterling, indicate these were manufactured by NS Meyer from 1965 to 1967.
$35.00Korean War Era Sterling Jump Wings
Great pair of sterling marked jump wings. These have a nice curve to them and longer clutch pins than the earlier WW2 jump wings. They show wear from use, but are still very nice and sterling marked.
SoldVietnam Era Cloth Master Parachutist Jump Wing
Finely detailed white embroidered master parachutist wings. Probably removed from a uniform.
$15.00Naval Air Facility Cam Rahn Bay, Vietnam, Beer Can Insignia
Thin stamped metal with painted insignia. Typical Vietnamese made. Nice piece.
$30.00US Army Vietnam War Paratrooper Helmet
A very nice example except that the harness on the liner has been removed. I'm told this was a fairly common practice since trooper spent most of their time as ground infantry during Vietnam.
Sold5 Quart Canteen Flotation Device, 1968 Dated
5 Quart bladder canteen and flotation device designed for use in the jungles of Vietnam. Has some stains but in complete condition.
SoldPost WW2 1st Armored Division HBT Coat
Fine example of the herringbone coat as worn between approximately 1948 thru early Korean War period. Includes the small size technical sergeant chevrons and 1st Armored Division patch above the left pocket. Approximately size 40.
$25.00US Army Training Helmet
When helmets were deemed no longer suitable for combat they got the red stripe and were used only for training. This appears to be a late WW2 or Korean War era steel pot that probably was used for training during the Vietnam War. It has a Nam era liner and chinstrap. Every helmet collector needs one of these variations in their collection.
$45.00USMC Sergeant's Vandergrift Jacket - Named
Size 40 jacket in excellent condition. These came out right after WW2 and saw service during the occupation period. Pretty short lived uniform jacket.
$45.001775th MP Company M1 Helmet Liner, 1976 Dated
Excellent conditio, high gloss liner with all insignia. I believe the 1775th was a Michigan unit. A fantastic display piece.
$45.00US Army Folding Shovel and Cover, M-1956, Vietnam War
Very good condition showing only moderate use. Ames 1969 dated shovel head. Cover date is faded but looks like 4 September, and either 59 or 69.$40.00
Set of M1956 Small Arms Pouches
Used to carry M14 and M16 Rifle ammo during Vietnam. Show service wear but complete with all straps and hooks. Nice matching pair.
$20.00WW2 Japanese Soldier's Silk Personal Flag, 39" x 28"
These personal flags were presented by family members to departing soldiers and carried on them into battle. This one is in excellent condition and the writing roughly translates, "7 lives to serve the country", "Tokyo, Japan", "10,000 Years", referring to Japan, not the soldier who was expected to die for his Country. Nice war trophy.
$150.00Japanese Patriotic 78 rpm Record
Don't see these everyday. This Japanese made record under the Columbia label was made sometime in the 30s at the beginning of Japan's global expansion efforts. Has some edge chips and scratches but still plays well. I have no idea what the words mean, but very martial sounding.
$20.00Circa 1947 Italian Flag
Early non-glow cotton flag as used by Italian Naval vessels right after WW2. 3 piece construction with reenforced corners. Nice displayable size 3' x 4'.
$35.00Late 50s Ny-lint Electric Cannon Truck
Here's a toy right out of the Cold War. Ny-lint produced these circa 1957 and when little boys weren't at school practicing taking shelter from nuke attacks they were at home playing with their Electric Cannons. This one is in excellent, working condition and complete with its plastic missiles. It measures over 22" long from the front bumper to the end of the cannon. One button raises and lowers the gun and another one fires the rocket. A very nice pressed steel toy.
$165.00Carved Sailor Art Coconut from the Nicaraguan Campaign
One of the finest examples of carved coconut sailor art I've ever seen. This one would date from the First Nicaraquan Campaign of 1912 which involved both the US Navy and Marines. It's typical handiwork of some lonely, but talented Sailor from one of the ships involved in the Campaign. This coconut is a trinket box which has finely detailed Seals of both the USA and Nicaragua. The best part is that it is complete with the original lid and stand. The condition is absolutely excellent. A really beautiful piece of art.
