Thanks for the pictures, "phantomfixer"!  I liked seeing them.  Great images.   Many thanks, "Preppy Picker", "Rakkasan187", & "Marshallj"!  Spot on!   One lesson here...  I learned a long time ago that "vet acquired", "vet bringback", "veteran this" and "veteran that" was a sure signal that the buyer's about to get burned by a predatory capitalist seller.   That silver wound badge looks like a higher-end fake, and may be made from zinc, like the originals.  I myself had a post-war Rudolf Souval ("L22") hallmarked silver wound badge...  Struck from lead!

I wouldn’t buy any of these unless it’s for cheap. If you have to dispose of them it won’t be easy. And it seems the seller isn’t telling you the truth.

Thanks for the info guys….…. I did ok, even if the wound badge is fake…👍👍✌️

Pleuger & Voss of Ludenscheid were known makers of Tinnies, not Wound Badges. Their RZM assigned number was M9/95 for Tinnies.   There was a fake Luftwaffe Pilot's badge with the Pleuger & Voss mark which was also identified as fake on the WAF   The wound badge is fake   Leigh 

The buckle looks real but ground dug. I would question why a 90+ vet would have a ground dug buckle. Vet acquired buckles might  show wear but not decay like that one. The wound badge looks a cast fake. I have never seen a Pleuger u. Voss wound badge. I am always learning and willing to listen to other more knowledgeable collectors.   

Thanks for the help all…. and the holster is a 1917 Perkins Campbell 

Perhaps it is European, because it isn't the US Model 1872-1875 Infantry insignia. The mouth of the bugle is facing the wrong way and there would be another tassel hanging from the cords.

Interesting it's not European. An original piece?

I bought a similar condition Luftwaffe for $40 a while back with. Broken hook. So if it’s intact I would say about the same, but if you could get it For Deal for $100 with vet provenance that would be really solid. Or with a written testimony from the vet. That would be cool. At least if you can get to him through the third party.

US Infantry kepi badge. Indian war era.

I agree. buckle is rough, assuming catch and roller intact $50-75, late war silver wound badge, assuming pin & catch intact. $50-60 retail.

Nice to meet you all, and please excuse the self-promotion. I’m a Japanese researcher who has been studying the Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces for over 20 years. I’ve recently completed Volume 1 of a self-published book series based on my research, and I’d be honored to share it with you.   https://rvnafpajapan.gumroad.com/l/RVNAF_1   This book illustrates and explains the uniforms and personal equipment of the Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces during the First Indochina War and the Vietnam War. It covers the period from 1949, when the Vietnamese National Army was established, to the fall of South Vietnam in 1975. Volume 1 focuses on the evolution of military and field uniforms, field uniform insignia, small arms, and personal equipment used by the Vietnamese infantry, airborne, ranger, and marine corps. The book consists of 79 full-color pages, primarily composed of illustrations. It is designed as an introductory guide, making it easy to understand for beginners. Number of illustrations included: 38 examples of military uniforms, 52 firearms, 145 personal equipment items, 53 combat uniforms and headgear and 318 insignia with wearing positions. My hope is that this book will contribute to a deeper understanding of the subject and help advance further research in this field. Thank you for your interest and support!
