VU-1045 This is the largest Special Forces SOG
Grouping that I have ever seen for sale. 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".
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. I don't even
know where to begin to discuss this group. Calling out the
major items first: The SOG Knife with original sheath and
stone are present with classic inscription. He was presented
with it in 1968 and he carried on operations between 1971-72
and shows actual use and wear. There are 2 green berets. The
first has an amazing embroidered Tiger head with his
personal information including his assignment at Command and
Control Detachment FOB#3 at Khe Sanh. You can see that there
was a sewn flash at one time. This flash is held in place
simply by the SF crest. The pins were bent down for comfort.
I have seen this multiple times. The second is dated 1971.
Both are flashed.
Among his many patches removed from uniforms/ hats include
an ULTRA RARE STRATA patch and tab!!
There numerous other insignia, some removed and some not
included Jump Wings, Rank Flashes, SF insignia and name
strips. There is a rare leather Leadership, zip side,
notebook with
In Country applied decoration. It has
the classic beret with insignia design with his name.
The last SOG item is an ashtray that he was presented with
as he was heading home. It has the classic MAC SOG burst
design with his name, "Strata", "MMFOB" and Vietnam 67-68
70-72". In addition to the above
items are his Gold Pattern Tiger Shirt in a US Large, exc.
condition. His well used Advisor Beo Gam Leopard pattern
jacket and trousers. These are named to another Soldier..
Rare Thai ERDL Flight Suit with theater made shoulder flags.
His boots are 1967. There is a variety of equipment
including pistol belt with pouches, holsters, aid pouches,
carriers etc. The scarce "Hot-Wet" survival kit favored by
SF is present. His trunk and duffle bag are present as well
as an embroidered black flight bag. There are other post
Vietnam items as well. There are books on Guerilla Tactics
and other material listed. I doubt you will ever see
anything like this again. A real treasure. Most of these
groups get broken up. We are offering this intact. $9,995.

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. $1195
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.
