A very odd and super neat item from Jason Hardy at the dog tag
Special forces used cannon 8mm movie camera, the hole in the case is from an attack on the base. The mortor round came home as you see it in the case, it was from the attack, and is inert
I was told that the vets wife is looking for the movies of the attack that her Husband took with this camera when they they were attacked. There is more info on this great piece and I will update this as soon as I receive them
A friend of mine had this come into his shop, it had my name all over it. its a jungle made rifle, not a shot gun ! it chambers a 7.62 x 39 round, i put one in with just a primer and it fired the primer
This is to me an outstanding find, the words on the stock are not translated yet, soon, close up of the jungle work shop action, hard to beat this as a vietnam bring back
Advisor period, brought back by a navy vet that was there to set up the Junk Force, this is from his estate, bought from the son, 100% silk flag, it does not get any better than this
This belt talks, its been there and looks it, it was a purchase with some other items, I did not look close at it until I got it here, I could not believe I did not see this in the pictures, I have one Identical to this with capture papers from a friend, he got it on Hamburger hill, He also got wounded on that Hill !
Salty has stains, vet purchase many years ago, I just located it in my storage area very very cool and original , look close at the edges, they have been worked to look like fringe
Captured in Nha Trang during the TET , brought back by a captain in the attached to the CIDG , security forces 67-68, this came with a letter with the vets name and unit info
Hand made copy of our claymore mine, made of tin, INERT

This is the one that was in Emmerings book.
Rear of the viet cong claymore mine, marked MD on the back? the wood is added to set the mine up it is made to stick the legs in the ground, INERT, from the Allan Wegscheider collection
I purchased this from the vet that brought it back, he told me he was hunting near the DMZ, tiger hunting with some buddys, they found some tigers one had a radio, as he put it, I have not been able to contact Al any longer, I know he had cancer, he could barely type last we talked, he was writing the about the radios capture and his time in nam, I only have the first few letters, they stopped and I have been unable to make contact with him
Radio has all the accessories and lights up with power, this can be used as a base radio or a back pack radio, left picture show all set ups, right picture is with the pad attached and straps for back pack carry and head phones with push button mike. Also antenna and shoulder pouch for accessories
A great original pair of vc / nva sandals, some ways of telling original is the straps are worn off the bottom, not sticking thru like they were just made and the top edges are a good sign, they are ground off to a smooth edge for comfort
Original nva made uniform correct in everyway, this is a hard one to find being khaki color, shirt shows used and has some soiling, this was a museum piece and is marked with museum numbers, a really great find
This is a great set, very very salty, seams are torn in some places, very unusual color, the vc field dyed there uniforms with colors they could find, this one is very faded, was on display in a museum and has museum numbers
Rare original main force vietcong khaki uniform, ink stains in the top pocket from a pen. This came from a museum and has the museum numbers on the garment
one of the best original captured NVA /VC document /map case I have ever found, still has the map marking pencils in the pouch, named, this is from a museum and is has museum numbers on the pouch. unusual with the leather insert on the inside of the flap, museum marked
I think this is the best one of these I have, the art work is I think by two different artist, this side is not signed, and is not as bold as the other side
This side of the canteen is much bolder art work and is signed I have started looking at canteens to see if this person did any other canteens, if you have any canteens with art work and it is signed by this artist please contact me
