Help! B-day gift for Marine

[RVTN21]

Hi! This is might be inappropriate, but I need some help. I'm in need of some good ideas for a unique, hopefulyl vintage birthday gift for my Marine. I was hoping to find a vintage canteen or knife, etc but can't seem to find anything that I think fits him. He's really interested in the Korean War in particular, but all things Marine Corps he adores. His birthday is Saturday, so I'm in a rush. Also, i live in DC if anyone happens to know of any good collector's shops or anything similar. Thanks Marines!!

Find an amry surplus store. You should be able to locate several in the DC area, and there should be plenty of old gear available.

Drop me a PM....I can't get it to you by Saturday but I can easily get you a set of HBT uniforms for about 50 bucks, (repro) that were used in "Windtalkers" and "Flags of our Fathers" that are correct for the Korean war as well.
