I have had this piece for over 20 years, purchased directly from veteran with envelope of paperwork as shown. Beautiful summer dress uniform and pants with shoulder patches US Airborne Special Forces, used and worn in Panama when a very small contingent of soldiers were sent down as advisors in the interests of protecting the Panama Canal after the January 1964 student protests and attempted insurrection in Panama, I remember like yesterday talking to this veteran and he said they came under small arms fire in the hotel they were staying at and they were under orders not to escalate any situations as they were in the country as advisors, shortly thereafter they were pulled out of Panama. The uniform is size 33 marked Chriss Tailoring Company, Fort Benning, excellent condition except for a pin hole mark on sleeve as shown in last picture, Great piece of History, wonderful addition to any collection.
