VietNam Era Items
This patch was for members of the so called "Ghost Battalion" of the Mobile Construction Battalions of the US Navy. MCB3 and other Battalions were given 45 days to construct a much needed airfield in Quang Tri in 1967. These patches were given to those MCB's for those men that served in the construction of the airfield. I have several at $25 each, or take two for $45. They measure 1 1/2" by 2" and look either in country or Japanese made.
I have two of these M1 Garand bayonets. These were sent to the South Korean Army for their surplus M1 rifles supplied after the Korean War. They were cut down to 6 1/4" blades and issued to the ROK Army soldiers in the early 1960's. I have one still in the plastic bag with original tape and cardboard blade protector as issued to ROK troops and another by itself. Both are in excellent condition and have numbers on one side of the cross guard. The one with the issue bag is $50, the other one is $40, or take both for $80.
