NVA Viet-Cong 5

NVA Viet-Cong 5

NVA SHIRT AND PANTS UNIFORM

This I think is an officer uniform due to the belt loops, the odd thing that bothers me is the use of heavy loops for the shoulder boards, not sure if this is a late war or post war uniform 

Nva uniform pants that came with this shirt, these look period correct except for the belt on the pants, all the buttons on the shirt and pants are squared off and correct, the belt that came with the shirt is dated 1969 and is a Chinese export to Vietnam. It has button and loop at the cuff also.

A PRISTINE SET OF PERIOD GRENADES ( INERT )

The whole rig shows no use as if it came from a arms cache. the sticks are dated what seems to be 58, the pouch is kaki and is dated 1970, I have never seen khaki pouch dated this late most are reed green, nice set
