ScottG Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share #27 Posted January 29, 2022 This is a complete lighted sight for a 57mm anti aircraft gun. I thought it interesting that the book was in English. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottG Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share #29 Posted January 29, 2022 So, you think you have a republican guard beret? Maybe you do, but do you have a beret made for the republican guard? There is a difference. Here are four RG berets, two in maroon and two in black. The upper or left berets are made by Wassit in Iraq and were used by the RG. The lower or right berets were also made by Wassit but specifically for the RG and they are marked as such. So, the only way to know for sure, is get the proper one. Another point of interest is that the RG style only come in black or maroon. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted February 9, 2022 Share #37 Posted February 9, 2022 Great thread, and you are certainly right, it is always the least "sexy" stuff that is the rarest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottG Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share #38 Posted February 10, 2022 I have shown this uniform here in the past. Here is an Iraqi produced lizard pattern very similar to the Portuguese patterns. It was made in Iraq and I got this set in Mosul in 2003 at the former air base and commando base. Also shown is a post 1991 web belt and buckle. Scott An AK mag pouch, like Romanian in origin with some mags from Iraq as found, I had to remove the ammo and dump the oil from the oiler to send it home.

Scott I could be mistaken as I'm still a novice when it comes to AKs, but I think the pouch is Hungarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of old Warsaw Pact stuff and British and Pakistani stuff to be found in Iraq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
