Going to MTA show in April for the first time, I was invited to do part of the Vietnam living history display there. I would like a few items for the display that I do not have/cannot find/cannot afford. Any help is appreciated:
Want to BUY for my own collection:
original M60 sling (not the black padded vinyl one)
original pre-1975 Tiger beer bottles
pictures or maps from Vietnam AO
belts of dummy ammo for dummy M60
M60 parts - need top cover internals, buttstock, op rod, rear sight assy
Hot Rod or other car magazines from the 1960s
Want to BORROW, or you can bring yourself
any demil or dummy weapons of the period, mortar, MG, grenade launcher, etc.
any vehicles that are period correct with correct paint/markings, to park near the hooch
large camo net and support set, correct green only color as was used then
any other things you might think are of interest to make this an awesome step into history!

A local flea market is a great place for old magazines and US beer cans. I recently picked up a bunch of Life magazines, 1960's, for .25 a piece. I can send you some belted dummy 7.62. M60 parts are crazy money, though. I just sold a complete top cover for $600.00. That chair has got to go, though.

Who said it was a command post? It's a radio shack out in the country, where brass never go. I had a couple maps on sectors in South vietnam, I need to get more and hang them up....
