    Hello everyone,

    I thought that I'd post some pics of a vest that I purchased at an antique store several weeks ago. Its been modified quite a bit. Background research indicates that these were worn by airmen up until the Vietnam War, so the vest may have been altered at that time but who knows for sure. Thanks for looking.

    Nice set, a lot of these got modified due to the straps being catchy.

    Hey Tom may I ask a dumb question? am anyway! on the inbuilt M1911 holster, would the oval leather part be there for a tie piece to secure the weapon at the trigger guard?

    Hey Rene,

    I believe you are correct, or at least it makes sense to me. Honestly, I don't know enough about these at this point. Maybe someone can weigh in on this and perhaps provide a photo.
