vietnam goggles Original U.S. Vietnam War Army 1st Special Forces Airborne Paratrooper – International Military AntiquesOriginal Item: Only One Available. The M1 helmet is a combat helmet that was used by the United States military from World War II until 1985, when it was succeeded by the PASGT helmet. For over forty years, the M1 was standard issue for the U. S. military. The M1 helmet has become an icon of the American military, with its design inspiring other militaries around the world. Many were also supplied to U. S. allies during the 50 years following WWII.

Original Item: Only One Available. The M1 helmet is a combat helmet that was used by the United States military from World War II until 1985, when it was succeeded by the PASGT helmet. For over forty years, the M1 was standard issue for the U.S. military. The M1 helmet has become an icon of the American military, with its design inspiring other militaries around the world. Many were also supplied to U.S. allies during the 50 years following WWII. This example is marked on the right side with the U.S. Army 1st Special Forces Command (Airborne) insignia, and on the left side with the Special Forces Distinctive Unit Insignia. The special forces were very active during the Vietnam war, however they were not a large group, so all of the items they used are quite rare.

The helmet comes with a set of GOGGLES SUN WIND AND DUST that are dated 1974, which came with the helmet. They would definitely have come in handy for Airborne units, particularly if transported by Helicopter, which would raise immense amounts of wind and dust.

Vietnam War era M-1 helmet shells have a set of swivel (movable) chinstrap loops called bales and a stainless steel rim with a rear seam. These rims were both rust resistant and had non-magnetic qualities that reduced the chance of error readings when placed around certain sensitive equipment (such as a compass).

These shells were for the most part identical to late war manufactured helmets, and the only real way to identify them is with the heat lot code. The code on this helmet looks to be 1235 A, though it is not entirely clear. This could be a very late WWII issue shell, reissued for use in Vietnam, but without removing the interior paint, it would be impossible to tell.

This helmet is a fine example and still retains all of its original Vietnam War parts and the shell has all original corked grain paint. The inner shell paint is also in great shape.

The liner is correct high pressure 1960s issue liner, marked simply with U.S. / 5 / M11, for an unknown manufacture. The liner is a correct paratrooper liner, and looks to have been set up like that from the factory, though unfortunately the right side securing snap has broken off. It has correct paratrooper chin strap mounting straps, though the chin cup itself is missing. The shell has the correct standard chin strap, with additional extensions to snap onto the liner, though at some point they were flipped around, and do not properly mount to the liner. The sweatband is unfortunately missing.

The camouflage cover is original and in very good condition. It has some stains and small holes around the edge, but is definitely solid, with the expected wear from use. It is marked on the underside of one of the flaps with the contract information:

COVER, HELMET CAMOUFLAGE
CONTRACT No. DSA 100-67-C-3637
FSN-8415-261-6833

This is a great piece of Vietnam War memorabilia, marked to the U.S. Army Special forces! Ready to display!

"Navy Vest & Pocket Square Charm; Formal Polish for Perfect Pairing
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 8, Color: Navy Blue, Size: 8
This very charming boys navy blue vest pairs perfectly with the accompanied pocket square, adding formal charm to dockers or navy khakis. My boys look dapper in matching sets. A timeless style that elevates any outfit. Made with quality fabric that appears to resist wrinkles, with the pocket square folding neatly for that polished touch. Comfortable and event ready.

Adorable boys vest! Dress up or down!
Color: Light Gray, Size: 5, Color: Light Gray, Size: 5
Super cute vest! Made of quality materials. The buttons on the front all work very well. My four year old can easily button and unbutton them himself. All 3 pockets in the front are functional cute little pockets. There are vertical line stitchings making this vest look just like dad's. The back is easily adjustable. I will stay I was nervous it was going to be too big for my almost 4 year old - I ordered the smallest size available, size 5 and it actually fits him perfectly. In fact, I could even have gotten him the size 6 and it would have fit so I recommend to size up. It's a breathable vest. The gray color goes with lots of other colors. It's an adorable vest. You can dress it up with a nice suit or dress down. It's adorable with a t shirt and jeans. The inside back is a nice silky material. This vest is very well made - its thick but breathable and a great value for the dollar. I highly recommend.

Perfect Fit and Amazing Quality – Highly Recommend!
Color: Black, Size: 12, Color: Black, Size: 12
I am absolutely thrilled with this boys’ formal vest! The size was spot on—it fit perfectly without being too tight or too loose, which can be hard to find for kids’ dress clothes. The material feels premium, soft yet structured, and it looks much more expensive than it actually is. I ordered it for a wedding where my son was the ring bearer, and it photographed beautifully. It gave him such a classy, well-dressed look while still allowing him to move comfortably through the day. The stitching and finish are top-notch, and the color stayed vibrant even after washing. It paired perfectly with a white shirt and dress pants we already had. I also appreciate how versatile it is—it’ll be great for Easter, family photos, or any other special occasion. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the quality, fit, and style of this vest. Definitely a 5-star purchase that I would buy again without hesitation!

Perfect Suit Great Quality and Value
Color: Lavender Purple, Size: 6 Years, Color: Lavender Purple, Size: 6 Years
I love at how nice this boys suit turned out. The slim fit gives it a stylish, elegant look, and it makes my nephew look so sharp and grown up. Fit true to size. The material feels good quality, not thin or cheap, and it’s definitely nicer than I expected for the price. I really like that it comes as a full set, which made things so much easier instead of having to buy down extra pieces. Love the tie and the vest, so cute. He wore it for a special event and got so many compliments, people couldn’t believe how handsome he looked. It stayed looking neat all day, and he was able to move around comfortably. I could easily see him wearing this again for weddings, church, holidays, or even school pictures. Overall, it’s a great buy if you want your little guy to look dressed up without spending a fortune. Beautiful boys suit, stylish and elegant, great value and quality. Wash inside out, and air dry.

One of the best suits out there!!
Color: Christmas Green, Size: 8 Years
I am not one who write reviews, so the fact that I'm penning this review you should know. These suits are the best, the sizing, the fit, the quality everything is perfect. I bought for my 3 sons and they all fit well, I was worried about the fit because one of my son is slender but tall so length things would be okay but waist toooo big, with this suit everything was on point. Ages: 13-14(about 5"4-5"5 have a little body wouldn't consider husky) got him size 18, 10-11(slender but a little tall for his age) got him size 14, 9yr old(average height and body size) got him size 8. Can't beat the price and for 6 pieces(pants, vest, jacket, shirt, tie, bowtie)
