Item #29819
Vietnam War era USMC "Armor, Body, Fragmentation Protective; Upper Torso" M1955 (w/Collar). There are parachute webbing and heavy canvas that have been added to the bottom of the vest to support the M1956 web gear. The chest pockets have also all been modified to be used for holding magazines. The right side has larger pockets for magazines from the M16 or M14 rifles whereas the left side has smaller pouches for the M1911 or possibly the M3 Grease Gun. Patch on chest is of a hand in a peace symbol sign and is patterned like the American Flag. It is not a standard USMC-issued patch but it is authentic to the era! Armor plates have been removed from the vest but it has the original ballistic nylon. There is a faint "H" spray painted in reddish-orange on the back. Size is marked XL on tag.
