[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Weird request, Flak jackets.

Posted: 2/26/2009 4:34:28 PM EDT

I have a friend who collects flak jackets, from different countries and years of origin. Does anyone know a good place to find them, or should he just keep browseing ebay?

He needs an M69, and an M1952a.

Call Trey at Moore Militaria

He has those in stock from time to time.

I had a M69 I found in Iraq, thing was in outstanding shape. One of our interpreters was using it before we got IBAs and plates for everybody. I was tempted to buy it for my collection, but I think he kept it for a relative who worked downtown.

I have what I believe to be a M1952 (If not, then it's a 1969).

But more importantly, ask him if he has one of these. It's kinda rare, and I have one in excellent+ condition. IIRC, it cost me ¥30,000 at a surplus store in Japan. Pretty neat- Vietnam issue Level III body armor with hard plates.

Would be more than happy to exchange it for cash.
