US Army Vietnam Jungle M64 1st Cavalry Uniform Lt. Colonel Bill Kilgore Costume
US Army Vietnam Jungle M64 1st Cavalry Uniform Lt. Colonel Bill Kilgore Costume
The offer includes the complete outfit of the mannequin without sunglasses.
Lieutenant Colonel William "Bill" Kilgore's uniform set as worn in the film Apocalypse Now.
In the famous Hollywood hit film, Robert Duvall played the legendary character Lt. Colonel Bill Kilgore as commander of the 1st Battalion of the 9th Airborne Brigade. The helicopter attack on the beach accompanied by Wagner's Ride of the Wallküren is probably unforgettably unique in film history. The helicopters, the music by the Doors, and the surfing helped the film to its success.
Lomax Militaria has taken the trouble to reproduce this exact uniform set. We were supported by our supplier from Thailand who flew to Vietnam to have the badges made "in country". Each badge was made by hand and elaborately embroidered by machine. An original US Army tarpaulin from the time was used as a base for the embroidery.
The set consists of the following individual badges based on the film Apocalypse Now:
#1x US Army stripes
#1x Kilgore name stripes
#1x 1st Cav Air Cavalry arm badge
#1x Ranger lettering
#1x Senior Airman Badge
#1x South Vietnamese Jumper Badge
#1x CIB combat infantry badge
#1x US Army Paratrooper Badge
#1x black clutch back metal badge for a Lt. Colonel (Oberstleutnant)
#1x black crossed sabres as metal badge for the affiliation to the cavalry
The uniform consists of:
1x pair of Jungle Boots
1x M64 field jacket sewn with badge
1x M64 trousers
(The trousers are large, if you are unsure or if you are between 2 sizes, always choose the smaller one!)
