ARVN Officers black beret

[2xvetran]

I received this from a local veteran who brought it home in 1969. He was an advisor and he gave me this and a nice set of Tiger Stripe fatigues that he wore. It is a bit stiff from age and improper storage but otherwise very nice. I was hoping someone could tell me a bit more about it. Thanks,Scott.

Here is the uniform, you can see that the trousers have material added to make the length a couple of inches longer. It is a very nice set but the vet removed all of his personal insignia... Scott.

Thanks Ed, very interesting site. Too bad you have to inquire about prices for nearly everything, that is a big turn off for me... Scott.

The two "Stars" show that he was a 1st Lt. I can't remember whether they are supposed to be peony blossoms or what.
