Before all the fancy load bearing vests and plate carrier’s a poor tribesman still had to be prepared 

then the world provided some modern rifles

(the grenade pouches have been filled with acid free paper)

 Those things are gorgeous, almost look like fantasy items made for a movie.

I concur. This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. Curious, are these from the 70's/80's?

The first one is from the 70/80s era the lower set came back from a deployment in Bamiyan province, Afghanistan in 2004.

the lower set was worn under the combat jacket so not often seen.

This guy is a fighter during the Iran iraq war i believe but has a similar looking tooled middle eastern rig on.

That’s super cool Ryan, your right same type of construction, coloured rivets and tinfoil underlay. Thanks for the info. Tony
