North Vietnamese Army Shoulder Boards Senior Captain VG

NVA enlisted men and officers were authorized to wear cotton twill tunics in the North. Officer's wore four pockets; enlisted wore two pockets on the chest; female personnel had two lower pockets. Wartime tunics had THIN loops on the shoulders for attaching shoulder boards. Some of these tunics made their way South as reported in ST66-24, the MACV Intelligence circular which reported on captured NVA material. The construction is typical war time with aluminum buttons, not shiny plated post war. T5
